Today we're going to tour my Remote Year apartment here in Santiago Chile
For those that don't know, my name is Kevin and I was in the military for 20
years, then I became a corporate lawyer. I kind
of got fed up with the nine-to-five so I quit my job to travel full-time. so if
that kind of content interests you please subscribe below. So I've been in
Santiago Chile for about a week and I figured it was about time to give you a
tour of my apartment. This is my second apartment with Remote Year. My first one
was in Lima Peru and if you haven't seen that video I'll go ahead and link it
somewhere up here. But for now let's jump right into this. I live in a really hip
neighborhood here in Santiago just south of Bella Vista and my building has this
really cool mural by a famous local artist
I live on Mosquito Street which is more like a little alley and it has all these
really cool outdoor cafes chocolate shop pastry shop it reminds me a lot of
Europe action which brings me back to my apartment building which reminds me so
much of the apartments in the Latin Quarter in Paris and just like the
apartments in Europe the hallways are a little bit dark kind of dingy smell a
little bit like cigarette smoke just a norm hole
then you would expect from a old-world style apartment building so the elevator
situation is building is very interesting this elevator is probably
like a hundred years old at least maybe even more has this little accordion type
of thing that you have to close in order for the elevator to work and also when
you get out of the elevator you have to close it or it won't go back down you'll
make the other residents kind of mad
another thing if you open the accordion before the elevator stops it'll stop the
elevator and I've done that on more than one occasion when it's when the elevator
is kind of slowed down on my floor see how it's going really slow here and
I've opened it up like to get out and it stopped and I had like a foot more to go
so I had to like jump up to get out of the elevator so yeah it's it's small and
and I question the safety of it but I use it anyway because I'm too lazy to
walk up the stairs I never use it going down stairs no I always walk down stairs
so this apartment is a two bedroom one and a half bath that I share with
another person that's also on remote here so we'll go ahead and start here in
the living room they're these great French doors that bring in a lot of
natural light this apartment has air conditioning units in each room which is
kind of rare in Latin America but we haven't really needed them because it
gets down to the high 40s low 50s at night here so next we'll head into the
kitchen here and if you watch my other videos you'll know I don't cook and
neither does my roommate so this is a waste of another really nice kitchen I
know I keep coming back to this French theme but this kitchen kind of reminds
me of like a country French bistro type of kitchen lastly in the kitchen we have
this refrigerator and a washer/dryer combo one of those units that does
everything and right off the kitchen we have this little half bathroom so as I
mentioned earlier I have a roommate he's not in the apartment right now but he
gave me permission to go into his room so I won't go too much in there I don't
want to invade his privacy but I kind of show you what he's got going on there
because it's pretty cool actually so the room is pretty standard but what's cool
about it is he has this French door that gives him access to the balcony which is
really cool both of our rooms come with a flat-screen TV and cable but neither
of us really use it and lastly we'll move on to my bedroom started dissapoint
but it's pretty standard other than some pretty unique artwork which i think
might be like a Banksy or something I just have a bed a nightstand and a desk
and a window so pretty basic so lastly I'll show you our only full bath and
it's kind of a unique situation Orly it's a unique situation for me I've
never had this before me and my roommate both have doors that access the bathroom
and they can only be locked from the inside of the bathroom so that's kind of
odd but we've come up with a schedule and we're dealing with it and the
bathrooms nice though I mean it's got a nice shower it's just kind of an odd
arrangement so lastly I'll show you one of the coolest things about this
apartment the balcony so this is just one of those really nice things to have
the weather's pretty good here in Santiago so it's pretty awesome to just
come out here and sit drink coffee in the morning work on my computer we even
have a barbecue pit here so that's the Santiago partment the one I'll be living
in for the next month here in Santiago I'm planning on doing a lot more videos
here in Chile I'm going to Patagonia to some hot springs to wine country so that
