Before my Trip

Hey all! Welcome to my blog for my upcoming trip to Argentina. I will be leaving at the end of January, so stay tuned for my first experiences when I get there. A few of my goals for my 5 1/2 months abroad are the following:

1. Obviously become fluent in Spanish.
2. Talk to strangers as much as possible (I know, I know...they tell you never to do this when you were a kid).
3. Volunteer with children (maybe something medical related?).
4. Talk to a Mother who walks on the Plaza de Mayo to honor her children.
5. Learn how to make dulce de leche and empanadas.
6. Learn to TANGO!!! (hopefully really well...I love ballroom dancing)
7. Be more familiar with Buenos Aires than any other city I've known or been in.
8. Meet lifelong friends.
9. Travel around Argentina (Bariloche for chocolate, Mendoza for Malbec wine, to name a few).
10. Have a ton of fun!! (whatever that may be)
To be continued...

    Hi Julia!

    I stumbled on your facebook trying to see how our off-campus students are doing and I found your blog. You have some awesome goals- I would love to learn to tango! Would you mind if I linked to your blog from my office's website, so other students can learn about your amazing ?

    Thanks- and have a good trip!
