That sounds like a great plan - saving money while having new adventures! I'll be keeping an eye out for any upcoming posts about your experiences there. That's great you'll be able to live so close to your dad down the line, and on a lake no less.

Nah, I didn't make a post about Chile, I just posted one photograph from Argentina. I mostly took poor quality digital photos in Chile (unfortunately) since I was conserving my film for Antarctica.

I can relate to the hermit part haha. It sounds like you and your girlfriend are poised to drastically alter your lifestyles, and I imagine the air quality and weather will be much more tolerable in Patagonia. Looking forward to your future updates on your move!
