When I originally created this blog, I intended for it to be a bit of a play-by-play on what I have been up to in Chile. The idea was that I would be able to look back on it and remember all of the good times I had while on exchange, and at the same time it would serve as a way to let my friends and family back home know what my life is like here, While it is undeniable that I am doing many exciting, "blog-worthy" things with my time here (for example, a trip to Brazil with my school), I find it much more enjoyable and important to write about my thoughts and feelings about exchange. Yes, I am writing this blog for my family, friends, other exchange students, and anyone else interested in what it is like to live in Chile, but I am also writing it for myself. We have social media outlets like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter where I can upload photos and share anecdotes of my crazy life, but for now I would like to keep my blog on the more "profound" side of exchange.
My last two posts are a good example of what you can expect to see from me in the future. I am aspiring to be a journalist, and I think this blog is a good place for me to practice my writing skills. Hopefully I will find time to blog more frequently, although it seems unlikely because I will be traveling for most of the summer. To keep up with my life, you can find me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/kira.mcneil.1), Instagram (@kiramcneil) and I have also made a few Vlogs on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrOd8kISoz-shMbn6R9U2rg).
I hope you all have a very merry Christmas!
