I’m so glad that I chose Santiago, Chile as the location to do my quest because it has so much to offer. The people were extremely nice, the country was beautiful, and it was a great way to give back to a community while learning more Spanish and seeing another country. I stayed with a Chilean woman named Maggie who made delicious meals, told amazing stories, and was patient with my understanding of the language. Each day I went to the daycare by bus from 9am-2pm for volunteering. I worked with the younger kids, got to play with them, and sometimes teach them words. They were all so adorable and I learned so much about children. Even though it was only a week, I think it still makes a difference for not only the kids, but for me. In the end they would sometimes call me ‘Mama’ or ‘Papa.’ It made me realize what a big deal it really was. In addition to volunteering I had the time to explore in my afternoons and the weekends. In Santiago I recommend taking the teleferico up to the top of San Cristobal. It has gorgeous views. Santa Lucia is another park with great views and across the street from that is the centro artesanal shops where I found a beautiful leather bag for not much money. All in all my quest experience in Chile was amazing and unforgettable. I got a lot out of only ten days and I’m grateful for all of the people I met and the experiences I had.
