Hey, fellow explorers! My name is Ty, and I come from the bustling streets of New York City. New York City is an incredibly special place. Even though it is my home, I'm eager to uncover other special cities all around the world. I'm currently on an incredible journey--a five-month exchange program at the Pontifical Catholic University in one of Brazil's most famous cities, Rio de Janiero!
Brazil, a land of captivating beauty and a complex history, has opened its doors to me. I'm not just here to study; I'm here to immerse myself in the richness of Brazilian life. This journey isn't just about me, it's about all of us. I'm thrilled to bring you along as I explore diverse cultures, traditions, and landscapes.
I'm excited to share my discoveries, my ups and downs, and the experiences that will shape my time here with you. Whether you have dreams of exploring the world or are curious about different cultures, I'm sure that by the end of this adventure you will have a fresh perspecitve. We'll traverse the colorful streets of Rio de Janeiro and beyond. Together, we'll uncover the layers of this remarkable country and its people!
