Category: Argentina ISA Buenos Aires

If you would have asked me how Buenos Aires was going three days ago, I would have responded with an “it’s alright”. Buenos Aires is your typical big city but with horrendous sidewalks. The chip selection is nonexistent, there are probably 4 types of cereal options to choose from and people here love their carbs….

As I arrive back in the United States there is definitely a lot of things I need to readjust too, however I’m glad I can see my friends and family. Overall, my experience in Argentina and traveling around the lower countries of South America was amazing and something I wish I could do all over…

As I wrapped up my time in Buenos Aires, Argentina I tried to enjoy the many things I loved in the city. As the summer approaches the city begins to warm up a lot, so it seems I will have left at the perfect time. It was cool to have arrived mid winter and left…

The task was to look at trauma and memory and it is experienced, portrayed, lived and how she is able to share her trauma through her testimony….

So far I have been in the capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires, for what feels like a very long time.  Yet at the same time it has flown by. My first month I took a Spanish intensive month, which featured 5 hours of Spanish 5 days a week. That first month greatly improved my Spanish…

I can’t believe that i’ve been abroad for a little over a month. I took a month long intensive Spanish class and I can honestly say that I can see major improvement in my ability to communicate. Before I came here I was a 2 on a scale from 0-10 and only knew how to…
