Chile: I like the people, the music, the culture and the friendliness that there is everywhere. I can walk through the streets and feel perfectly happy as I do it. I feel part of the city - I just feel at home.
Escuela Fronteras: My week here has been the busiest I've had in a long time. I have spoken Spanish for 40 year now and I've learned a lot.
Spanish Background: I did a semester abroad in Mexico doing a Spanish Immersion course.
Favorite Chilean Thing: I love the bread here. There is fresh, hot bread in like every grocery store here. You just walk in and it's streaming hot ready to take home. It's amazing.
Memorable Quote: The three weeks I've be here have been equivalent to three months I spent in Guadalajara Mexico learning Spanish.
Chile: My first time to Chile was with a Faculty Led program. We hiked the Andes Mountains and visited the Mapuche Indians. The community was so sweet and so wonderful. That was a really memorable trip!
Escuela Fronteras: We sent over 20 students for a three week winter session. They all had a phenomenal time and did very well academically.
