My Gap Year
I would like to go to Chile for a full year,
even though I would probably feel
homesick in the beginning, I think I would
enjoy such an experience because there
are more pros than cons.
It is a joy and an
enrichment to meet new people and to
discover new cultures, of course I would
have to save quite a lot of money but this
too cans be exciting.
Indeed, getting
money to achieve a dream.
But it is also
an important transition from childhood to
adulthood, from dependence to
independence.
I would visit my brother, he lives in a city
in the north of Chile on the border with
Peru called Arica.
It is also known as one
of the driest cities in the world.
Between
1903 and 1918, there was not a drop of
rain for 173 months.
It is nicknamed the
“city of eternal spring”.
I was going to stay in this city for about
five or six months because it can bring me
a lot of knowledge by staying with my brother and it can help me to
integrate into the Chilean traditions.
Arica is known for surfing, big surfing
competitions are held there Avery year, I would like to try.
Then I would
like to go to the capital Santiago which is also the largest city of Chile, I
could go to the Chascona, it is the old house of the poet Pablo Neruda
which has become a museum and I plan to stay one month or two in the
city.
I would visit tour the country passing through the Atacama Desert, known
to be one of the most arid regions on Earth, and then visit the many
museums in the country and in the border countries.
Last but not least, going abroad for a while is also
the best way to learn a new language (Spanish).
