Literally cannot believe I’m writing my final blog post in Buenos Aires. I’m all packed up and I’ve said my goodbyes, but I can’t wrap my mind around the fact that I’m leaving this beautiful, exciting, and mostly crazy city. This semester has been full of learning, traveling, and memories. I’ve learned more about myself and other cultures in just four months than I thought was possible in years. I visited eight cities and three different countries, each more beautiful and captivating than the last! Although there were some difficult/homesick/culture-shock moments I truly made some of the greatest memories with some of the greatest friends I could have asked for.
I had no idea how much I could grow to love my host mom, my
Argentine madre. Maria is one of the most caring, loving, sincere, and utterly
selfless people I have ever met. She was everything I could ask for in an Argentine
mom! Saying goodbye to Maria will be the hardest part, hands down.
From cafes con leche and glasses of vino in adorable cafes
(maybe a little too often) to sleepless nights out on the town in crazy Buenos
Aires, I can’t begin to explain the fantastic times I’ve had in BA. I can’t
explain the feeling I got every time I mastered a new bus route, the warmth I felt
when a local helped me with directions, the satisfaction I experienced every
time I was able to have a full conversation with a porteño. It’s these moments
that I will miss more than anything.
Un beso
grandisimo a Buenos Aires y todos mis queridos amigos!! Words truly
cannot express the love I have for all of you!
‘Merica, I’ll see you soon! ;)
LIXO, Dutson
