I am an Australian woman learning to speak Spanish for fun and travel. I would like to make new long distance friends with native speakers in Chile, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama. I have wanted to visit since I was a little girl. I love hiking and am starting to learn how to thru-hike so I can go on longer trips; I would love to hear from other hikers and folks who can give me camping tips (my main handicap when it comes to camping is difficulty setting up a tent!)
