Bailey, traveling and school- oh my!

Hello all!
What an exciting week. Bailey just bought a plane ticket to come out here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sososososo excited! Since her job is over at the end of this month, she is deciding to donate her spare time (and money) to come and see Amelie and I down here! I have been looking at Lan Chile for promotions to see if there are any cool trips we could do, but anything we do is going to be fun, so I'm not too worried about "going somewhere" or "doing something". All will be an adventure. Which leads me to my next thoughts.....
Traveling!
So, I am tenetavely planning a lot of trips for this summer.... First up is a solo(?) backpacking trip to Torres del Paine Natl park in the Patagonia of Chile. I am very excited, as there is an extensive trail network that runs through the (incredibly beautiful) park. Then, I would like to travel to other countries (Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil and Argentina) and I have been thinking that I want to stay for a few weeks in Colombia with an organization called WWOOF (world wide oportunities on organic farms). I would be working and living on an organic farm and learning about their cultivation methods, biodiversity, etc... What a great way to spend a few summer weeks! Giving back to the earth, working (well, volunteering without pay) and learning. I am also trying to earn some money down here maybe teaching english to my host sister and her friends? I hope so. Otherwise I will be pretty broke. But, while WWOOFing, I will not have to pay for room/board/meals, so thats pretty economic. Then, school!
I have finally had a full week of all of my classes, and they are all pretty cool. I have added a Human Movement class, as well as a class "Chile's insertion in a globalized economy" which is hard, but very interesting. I am very excited about all of my classes, and it is fun to be speaking/reading/writing Spanish so freequently. I am improving daily in my skills, and am really looking forward to spending a lot of time here being immersed in the language.
Oh yay! So much to look forward to! Hope you are all doing well. I am thinking of everyone, and love you all!
Caio!
