The cost of living is lower in Chile than in Ireland for that reason food, accommodation and nightlife were cheaper. Telephone cost less because although I did telephone Ireland a few times, I mainly kept in contact through emails. Travel cost more beacaue there is so many amazing places to visit in South America and I simply would not be travelling that much in Ireland.

Food, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
