What is something you would like the blog readers to know about you that they wouldn’t know by just looking at you?

I love history. Exploring the cultural and political history of a place allows you to understand the background of its modern ways of life. You discover why people do the things they do, why they speak the way they speak, etcetera. It’s exciting to look back and watch the construction of a place and a people.

What is one thing that you are most anticipating about your study abroad experience?

I cannot wait for the new cuisines I will try in Argentina. I’m a pretty adventurous eater and look forward to trying new foods as well as cooking my own favorite meals for my host family.

Why did you decide to study abroad? or What inspired you to study abroad?

I have had few opportunities to travel in the past, but I’ve always dreamed of seeing more of the world. I also love languages and the cultural power they possess. I wanted to immerse myself in Spanish, and studying abroad seemed the perfect way to do that.
