Hola! Hello! My name is Alicia and I am from Winchester, Massachusetts, a small town just north of Boston. I am 21 years old and I go to the University of New Hampshire (UNH). Growing up, I have always enjoyed ice skating, going to the beach, hanging out with my friends and drawing. I study Spanish, sign language and speech and hearing sciences at UNH. However, this semester, I decided to study in South America to get better at Spanish and learn about another part of the world. Ever since I was fifteen years old I have loved learning and speaking Spanish.
Right now, I am going to college at the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaiso in Valparaiso, Chile! I am 5,223 miles away from my hometown. During my time here in Valparaiso, I will be studying Spanish and learning about Chilean culture through various experiences. I am so excited to explore Chile and share my experience with you all!
