The first few weeks in Cordoba have been quite eventful. I was so scared upon arrival, with so many questions running through my mind: “who will I be living with?” “will I be able to communicate with the locals?” “what will my placement be like?” and much more. These questions were early on answered and I feel apart of the culture already! My host is a 26 year old artist, there are three others in the house as well: a student from Brasil here to study Spanish and another Argentinian. This is my view from my bedroom balcony- lucky me! -Sara Kazerouni
