¡Hola a todos! Hello, everyone! My name is Olivia, and I am from Forest Park, Georgia, which is a city within Metro-Atlanta. Growing up, I loved learning about other cultures; I cherish shopping at NamDaeMun Farmer’s Market and attending my friend’s quinceaneras. I love going out to different restaurants and trying new cuisines. I also love cowboy boots--I probably wear a pair every other day.
For college, I left Georgia and traveled north to Ohio. I am now in my final semester of studying communication at the College of Wooster. Even though most of my classes have dealt with communication and politics, I still have a passion to learn Spanish. I want to be able to connect with the more than 500 million people worldwide who speak Spanish. I am currently studying abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina! Argentina is located in South America and is the eighth-largest country in the world! I am so happy to share my journey with you all. I hope to learn more about you too! Chau! Bye!
