Being outside of the country for the first
time is a little nerve racking because of culture differences, unexpected events
and of course, flying. The fears will all go away as soon as I meet my host
family for the first time. I am exceptionally excited to meet the citizens of
San Juan La Laguna, immerse myself into their daily lives and to share my
experience with others.
Meeting people of various backgrounds is
something that has always interest me. Learning about what activities others
like to do during their free time and learning personal experiences are some of
the things I look forward to during this trip. Most importantly, I am excited
to create amazing memories with the OU group and the citizens of San Juan La
Laguna.
In my experience with traveling, I have
learned that everything does not always go as planned. Sometimes we see that as
an inconvenience but in actuality it gives us the opportunity to explore places
we that would have not seen because of a set schedule. During this trip, I
believe that my expectations of connecting would happen no matter what the
situation is. Overall, I hope to have amazing experiences to share with my
family and friends when I get back home!
