Santiago

1.1.2016 Chile! Arrived in Santiago. Surrounded by mountains it's dry hot now in sommer.home of 6 million chienians or roughly 40%. Did couchsurfing (but i like bewelcome and trustroots a lot more because they are not owned by a company). Chilled a little on the BMX and watched my host working (junggeling at traffic lights)
