Well, you guys .. the day has finally come. Today is the day I leave Chile, the absolutely amazing country I’ve been so incredibly lucky to call home for the past 3 years. I’m finding it a bit overwhelming to try to put all of my feelings into words right now, so instead, I’ll just say this. Gracias por todo Chile. Gracias por mostrarme toda tu belleza. Por enseñarme y desafiarme. Gracias por cambiarme para mejor. Por hacerme demasiado feliz. Me voy hoy, pero yo sé que este no es un adios, solamente un hasta pronto. Has dejado una huella enorme en mi corazón, mi Chile querido. 🇨🇱 ❤ . . . . . . . #ladiesgoneglobal #girlsgoneinternational #sheisnotlost #wearetravelgirls #travellushes #welivetoexplore #girlslovetravel #thetravelwomen #womenwhoexplore #womenwhotravel #feelitforyourself #chilelindo #chiletravel #visitchile #chile #chile_360 #chile_shots #chileestuyo #chilegram_ #chile_natural #chile_bloggers #chile_fotos #chilemochilero #chiletrip #travelchile #marcachile #chiletravelrepost
What truly made these past 3 years in Chile so special was the people I got to share them with. These peeps right here (and many not pictured). You guys are EVERYTHING. One thing is for certain, I leave Chile a little bit richer. Richer in experience, richer in knowledge and over everything else, richer in relationships. To quote my childhood mentor, Winnie-the-Pooh: “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” ❤❤ . . . . . #ladiesgoneglobal #girlsgoneinternational #sheisnotlost #wearetravelgirls #travellushes #welivetoexplore #girlslovetravel #thetravelwomen #womenwhoexplore #womenwhotravel #feelitforyourself #chilelindo #chiletravel #visitchile #chile #chile_360 #chile_shots #chileestuyo #chilegram_ #chile_natural #chile_bloggers #chile_fotos #chilemochilero #chiletrip #travelchile #marcachile #chiletravelrepost
On to destination number 5! We’ve made our way all the way down south to the end of the Earth- Chile’s treasured Torres del Paine in Patagonia! 🏔 Visiting a place like Torres del Paine changes you. The rugged beauty and unforgiving climate of this park truly opens your eyes to power of nature. It’s shocking and comforting all at once. You realize how small you are in the grand scheme of things, but also how much power you possess. Patagonia's magic is sure to ignite your soul. 🔥 . . . . . . . #ladiesgoneglobal #girlsgoneinternational #sheisnotlost #wearetravelgirls #travellushes #welivetoexplore #girlslovetravel #thetravelwomen #womenwhoexplore #womenwhotravel #feelitforyourself #chilelindo #chiletravel #visitchile #chile #chile_360 #chile_shots #chileestuyo #chilegram_ #chile_natural #chile_bloggers #chile_fotos #chilemochilero #chiletrip #travelchile #marcachile #chiletravelrepost #patagonia #patagoniachile #patagoniachilena🇨🇱
Destination #4: Pucón. Throwing it back to that time I climbed an active volcano outside of Chile's little Lake District town of Pucón. Climbing Volcán Villarrica was one of the most incredible [and terrifying] experiences of my life. I was so back and forth about whether I was going to do it that the decision tortured me for days. Boy am I glad I did though. Just check out this this view. 😍😍 . Pucón is just one of Chile's many destinations for outdoor activity lovers. This adventure hub offers easy access to hiking trails, water sports like white-water rafting and kayaking, skiing and so much more! .🏔🛶🏕 . . #ladiesgoneglobal #girlsgoneinternational #sheisnotlost #wearetravelgirls #travellushes #welivetoexplore #girlslovetravel #thetravelwomen #womenwhoexplore #womenwhotravel #feelitforyourself #chilelindo #chiletravel #visitchile #chile #chile_360 #chile_shots #chileestuyo #chilegram_ #chile_natural #chile_bloggers #chile_fotos #chilemochilero #chiletrip #travelchile #marcachile #chiletravelrepost
Destination #3: Cajón del Maipo. It's still hard to believe that this area is less than 2 hours outside of the captial city of Santiago. 🇨🇱 When visiting Cajón you feel worlds away from the hustle and bustle of big city life. Here you can truly embrace the peaceful spirit of nature. 🍃 Over the past few years whenever I was feeling overwhelmed, tired or simply in need of a break, you can bet I'd plan a trip to Cajón ASAP. This valley, with its sunny blue skies and fresh mountain air became my Chilean happy place. 🤗 . Where's your happy place? . . . . . . #ladiesgoneglobal #girlsgoneinternational #sheisnotlost #wearetravelgirls #travellushes #welivetoexplore #girlslovetravel #thetravelwomen #womenwhoexplore #womenwhotravel #feelitforyourself #chilelindo #chiletravel #visitchile #chile #chile_360 #chile_shots #chileestuyo #chilegram_ #chile_natural #chile_bloggers #chile_fotos #chilemochilero #chiletrip #travelchile #marcachile #chiletravelrepost #visitsantiago #santiagoadicto
Must see Chilean destination #2: VALPARAÍSO! ❤ I always urge those visiting Santiago to take the time see this colorful coastal city. "Valpo," as its known to locals, is full of culture, art, amazing views and scrumptious cuisine! 🌇🎨🤤 In my opinion, #Valparaíso is a must see in any trip to Chile. Not to mention- the city's endless street art makes for some pretty incredible photo opts 📸😜 . Some of my Valpo go-to's: Cerro Alegre, La Sebastiana Museum, @el_peral_valparaiso , the restaurant @faunahotelrestaurante, The Beethoven stairs, @terrazabellavista.cl, and the "We are not Hippies we are Happies" mural. .

As promised- today I'm starting with my top 5 destinations in Chile, from North to South, outside of Santiago. 🤗 First up- San Pedro de Atacama. This little desert town can be found high up on an arid plateau in the middle of Chile's northeastern Andes. With its dramtic, other-wordly landscapes, it's known to be the closest one can get to visiting Mars (while still down here on Earth 🙃). In just one long weekend, I visited salt flats, volcanoes, geysers and hot springs, floated around dense salty lagoons, quaded off into a pastel sunset and gazed at the most incredible starry sky. San Pedro is truly a destination for those seeking adventure ❤ . . . . . . . #ladiesgoneglobal #girlsgoneinternational #sheisnotlost #wearetravelgirls #travellushes #welivetoexplore #girlslovetravel #thetravelwomen #womenwhoexplore #womenwhotravel #feelitforyourself #chilelindo #chiletravel #visitchile #chile #chile_360 #chile_shots #chileestuyo #chilegram_ #chile_natural #chile_bloggers #chile_fotos #chilemochilero #chiletrip #travelchile #marcachile #chiletravelrepost

I've had a pretty longggg morning here in Santiago. 🙈 It's finally time for me to start tying up loose ends, closing accounts and submitting all my "tramites," and let me tell you, they do NOT make it easy here. After several arguments with executives in various government offices, a trip to the bank, two separate trips to the notary, taking numbers, waiting in lines and getting told "no" one too many times- I almost lost it. For a minute I forgot why I've loved living here in Santiago so much. 😔 This photo was a nice reminder. As soon as I opened it on my phone, I felt a sense of calm. 🙌🏼 And then I went and treated myself to a Chai Latte ☕ . This photo was taken a while back from "Mirador El Hundimiento" on Cerro San Cristobal. On a clear day, after a bit of rain, it's one of the best views of the city! I have so many photos taken from this very spot, but this is definitely one of my favs. . . . . #ladiesgoneglobal #girlsgoneinternational #sheisnotlost #wearetravelgirls #travellushes #welivetoexplore #girlslovetravel #thetravelwomen #womenwhoexplore #womenwhotravel #feelitforyourself #chilelindo #chiletravel #visitchile #chile #santiagoadicto #santiagodechile #visitsantiago #chile_360 #chile_shots #chileestuyo #chilegram_
