Hello, I'm Aurora Perez, and I am a Latina, first-generation university student studying Applied Psychology at NYU. I come from a small town in Los Angeles, California, and my family is from Mexico.
Right now I am studying in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which is a beautiful country in South America, where everyone speaks Spanish. I chose to study here to practice and learn more Spanish because I use it a lot more here than in the U.S. Living in Buenos Aires has made me get out of my comfort zone and use my Spanish more. I hope to share all of the amazing experiences I have had during my time here in Buenos Aires. While I am here, I will show you how the daily life here and the amazing sites and experiences here in Latin America! See you soon!
