Studying Abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina | An Honest Q&A

Описание: Hello everyone! Welcome back! In this video, I delve into what my study-abroad experience was REALLY like....When I was looking at study abroad programs just a year ago, I saw few candid YouTube videos about what people's experience was actually like....the vulnerable & brutally honest opinions. Furthermore, there was little documentation about what a woman of color's experience was like while studying abroad in a place such as Buenos Aires, Argentina. Today, I will go into extreme depth about all aspects of my abroad experience, from partying to being vegan to facing micro-aggressions to group dynamics, I will tell you all details---this is what you DON'T hear or see on the Instagram highlight reel. You all deserve to know the raw version of all the high's and low's of studying abroad!

FAQ:
