valley with tall, and beautiful evergreen trees on either side. When you got to the end of the path you got on another ski lift and went further up the mountain.

The music that I was sure could be heard for miles around was just barely audible from up here. “Have people died on this slope before?” Mika asked our ski instructor, Shawn, as we looked down at the steep slope. “I don’t think anyone has died,” he said in a very South African accent. “But seriously injured, yes.” I looked at Mika in shock, hoping that I wouldn’t join the group of seriously injured

I feel at peace as my gaze wanders across the horizon. I am in the heart of wilderness in Vicuña, Chile and this is where I belong. Without a doubt, Vicuña would be my choice of travel because of the amazing memories I made this past summer while studying abroad with CIEE through their High School Summer Abroad Program

When we reached the top we exited the chair lift and I nearly fell face first into the ice cold now, but I caught myself and was able
