¡Estoy muy enamorado con la cultura de Suda América! I am very interested in all things Latin: the food, the language, and the culture. It made perfect sense for me to choose Uruguay as my destination for study-abroad. My favorite trip in the whole wide world was my high school excursion to Beijing, China! It…
