Buenos Aires, Argentina

Why did you choose to study or intern abroad?
I have always loved traveling but I knew that studying abroad would be a uniquely immersive experience in another country. For me, choosing to study abroad in Buenos Aires was also connected to my Hispanic identity; I had always wanted to gain a deeper understanding of Latin American culture, as well as polish my Spanish!

WhAT IS ONE NEW EXPERIENCE YOU'RE HOPING TO HAVE WHILE ABROAD?
Something I'm really excited about for studying abroad is the independent, unbridled exploration of a new place. Even around where I'm from, I love going to cities and towns to see what I happen upon by wandering—but I know the scale and true unfamiliarity of a new country will lead to amazing discoveries and unexpected memories. So, in a sense, I'm really just looking forward to the experiences that I don't even know exist yet.

What CLASS ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO TAKING while ABROAD?
I'm most looking forward to taking Culture and Civilization of Argentina.

WHAT IS SOMETHING you're passionate and excited about? 
Since I was little, I've been a big reader and lover of storytelling in general. Books, films, theater, music—all of these creative outputs just fill me up, so one of my favorite activities is consuming a good story, in whatever form it may come. When it comes to studying abroad, I can't wait to have my eyes opened to a whole new world of arts, literature, and cultural expressions, and to see what wonderful stories I find there.
