GOAL: Buy a few dozen hectares in Chile and use our technical skills to make enough money online (USD) while only working 20-hours a week. The rest of our time will be spent enjoying life and the many splendors of Chile.
I am a snowboarding junkie and am looking for property near Chilean ski resorts, possibly in the Lakes District.
This lens has been created for two reasons:
#1 - Provide information to others interested in traveling to Chile or expatriating to South America.
#2 - Provide a motivation for learning everything I can about this beautiful country and its people.
Researching Chile for Travel
Culture Shock! Chile (Culture Shock! A Survival Guide to Customs & Etiquette)
I finished reading this book in one night. You are advised to buy this, read it before going, then read it again when you are there. It explains many things about Chilean culture that you would not have known otherwise. Stop offending and being offended by understanding on a deeper level.

Instant Immersion Spanish Deluxe 2.0
Don't go to Chile if you can't speak a little bit of Spanish. Outside of the major cities you will find that not many people speak English or your native language.
