Felices fiestas patrias to all of the chilenas y chilenossss 🤍🇨🇱

The 18 of September is like the “4th of July” for chile. It’s the biggest holiday of the year where you go to fairs called “fondas” drink mixed drinks called “terremotos” (earthquakes… yes it is very fitting haha) and people dance “cueca”. There is a lot more to it than just those traditions but unfortunately the last 3 “dieciochos” that I have been in Chile either covid or bad weather has stopped me from fully experiencing it 😂 I’ll have plenty more chances though hahah and will report back with more details 🫡 jajaja

One of the weirdest things about traveling the world and living abroad is when you are in a country during a national holiday. My life is moving as usual and everything around me is stopped to celebrate the holiday. It’s interesting to walk out into the empty streets on what is a normal work day for me and see everything closed 😂 or Reversed when there is a holiday in the USA and everything in the country im in is moving as usual. I tend to pick and choose if I celebrate my own holiday or a different countries holidays - really just depends on what the best option is and what I have going on.

Whats the coolest experience you’ve had celebrating a holiday in a different country?
