On street harassement and gender parity

Most foreigners moving to Chile want to know as much as possible before they get here. Some information is easy to come by, other not so much. After 3 years here I think it is fit to write a short summary on gender parity in Chile.

A very exciting new project - an eco home

For a while now we have been toying with the idea of moving and living in the countryside. We were first thinking about this when we were still in Bristol and relocating to Santiago may have seemed like a step in the wrong direction (...though it has its pluses, like 330+ sunny days per year and the Andes only a few minutes by car! - or a few mooooore minutes by bike ;o)).

Moving house and buying furniture

We moved house a few weeks ago. It probably was a downgrade in terms of property (which is fine by us as we are quite austere at the best of times) but on the upside we no longer have to share with a very peculiar landlady. This move is also a part of a bigger "master plan" (...more about this in another blog post soon).

Rafting Cajon del Maipo

Santiago is a great place to be in if you are looking for a little fun and adventure not too far from a city. We've been mainly trekking the beautiful mountains near us but there is lots more to do. For example, a couple of weekends ago we went rafting in Cajon del Maipo.
