Why the Name "Michelle y Michi"?

Shout out to Beth, Isabel, and my mom for help in our brainstorming session to figure out a name for this blog!

Finally, after weeks of my scratching my head to find a blog name that sounds at least vaguely interesting, a 28 hour road trip produced the name "Michelle y Michi." Why, you ask?

The Michelle part: My name, which also happens to be the current Chilean president Michelle Bachelet's name. Yay for a coincidence of names!

The Michi part: In one of our first correspondences, my older host sister (I have two) asked if I have a nickname. I responded, "No... unless Michelle-ita counts?) And thus was born a new name coined by her... Michi! (So it counts as my 'Chilean' identity)

Ciao!
