Recently I have made my home in Valdivia, Chile. The city is situated near the top of Patagonia in one of the most scenically spectacular parts of the world. It’s a wonderful privilege to be playing in such a beautiful location and i still pinch myself at the idea that I actually get paid to do this! The city was founded in the 1600s but has been destroyed and rebuilt many times due to earthquakes. Just a few of the original fortifications remain as a reminder of the cities age.
