One of the main reasons I decided to go to AU was for the study abroad program. As a Spanish minor it was necessary for me; plus I didn't spend the past several years learning Spanish to never use it! But why Argentina? Well, that's a question I've had to answer many times. It was a difficult decision to make, and I went back and forth between Argentina and Spain several times. My final decision was based on this: I love Europe. I've traveled a lot in Europe and will continue to travel in Europe. It is very likely that I will even live and work in Europe one day. But how many opprotunities would I have to live in South America? Everyone does the Europe thing; so I decided to take the road less traveled and picked Buenos Aires, Argentina. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but I knew it would be worth with it.
Now I've decided to start travel blog, "La vida es linda. Y mas en Argentina," (Life is beautiful, and more so in Argentina) which is quote I have to give my host dad, Carmelo, credit for. I will write updates, comment on Argentine and latin culture, describe my travels and post pictures from my time abroad. The first few posts will be a compilation of e-mails and observations of the places I've been; the next ones will be written as time goes along.
I hope you enjoy my blog! Check back because I will try to update it as often as possible.
Besitos, B.
