If you are a nomad like we are then understanding the laws of travel, visas, and residency is vital. In this episode of Borderless Impact we break down some of the rules of staying in Chile and what your options are. This comes with the giant disclaimer that all these are subject to change once COVID is over and that we are not lawyers. So it might not need to be said, but take our info with a grain of salt, no one knows exactly how things will turn out. That being said, this is a fun episode for us and we hope you guys appreciate all the info. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/borderlessimpact/message

Spanish is a beautiful language spoken all around the world and not surprisingly many native Spanish speakers talk in a variety of different dialects. Once you land in Chile you will quickly realize that Chilean Spanish can only be described as unique compared to that of other countries. So in today's episode we sit down with Claudia again to discuss all the ways that Chilean Spanish is unique and divertido (fun). It is important while visiting Chile, or any Spanish speaking country, that you at least attempt to speak Spanish as much as possible. So listen in to see what a local has to say about the language and what all travelers need to know. Also please forgive us on the audio quality of Jordan's microphone, we promise this won't happen again! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/borderlessimpact/message

Please enjoy part 2 of our 2 part interview with Claudia as we continue our discussion on Chilean history as well as the foundations for what has become widespread political protest in Chile, most significantly in Santiago.
