My goal for studying abroad is to engage myself in this ever-changing
and globalized world. Only having had the opportunity to travel outside the United States twice, I look forward to this novel and exciting journey to South America. Traveling provides an opportunity to step outside one’s comfort zone and experience the world outside of home.
My great uncle lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina for the majority
of his life. Though I was never able to meet him, I believe that venturing to his home and roaming the streets in which he lived and worked will be an exciting and reconnecting experience.
I am doing this dialogue to Argentina and Uruguay to experience the
vibrant culture, rhythmic tango, and fine cuisine that I have only read and dreamed about. I want to immerse myself in the Spanish language to increase my proficiency and challenge myself to be bold and take risks.
Through this trip, I hope to become an avid and seasoned traveler, prepared to discover and explore distant lands and cultures.
