Welcome to Local Heart – Blogging from a Unique Corner of Chilean Patagonia
Nestled in the breathtaking Lago Llanquihue region, Local Heart captures the rhythms, traditions, and everyday beauty of life on the edge of the world—where snow-capped volcanoes rise above pristine lake waters and small-town life is shaped by nature’s extremes.
From local flavors and cultural traditions to hidden trails and resilient communities, this blog offers an insider’s perspective on what it means to call this wild, southern land home.
Take a moment, grab a cuppa, and explore life at the edge of the world.
As For Me
I’m a big-city girl turned small-town mum, sharing the lessons and surprises of life in Patagonia—everything that fascinates me and continues to shape my journey.
When I’m not writing or posting, I teach English, navigate the world of journalism, translation, and storytelling, and find joy in the little things—like walking in the rain, chatting with my children, people-watching… and coffee!
