Nate's Notions, Santiago
I am a writer who has been living abroad for the last four years. I have been making my living as an ESL instructor as I traveled in Vietnam, Japan, and Korea. I have just moved to my new home in Santiago, Chile where I will stay for about a year. The blog deals with travel and daily life in Chile.
