Travel is an imperative experience to have, especially when new cultures are introduced. I enjoy communicating with people and experiencing new thoughts into which I can rediscover myself. Although I am not majoring in journalism I believe my experiences from this trip will be applied daily when I do become an architect and hopefully start my own firm someday. I expect to travel often throughout my life and must be proficient in effectively communicating in numerous ways.
For as long as I can remember I have been extremely fascinated with Latin American culture. I have taken several trips to Mexico and was once fortunate enough to sail on a cruise which explored the Caribbean and its diverse islands. The intense and brilliant sun exudes the energy displayed through the rhythmic lifestyles that many Latin Americans display so casually. Gracious and warming natives generate a rich environment filled with optimism and copious pleasures that I eagerly hope to experience.
Having studied architecture and history at the University of Oklahoma for three years now, no other area in the world has intrigued me more than that of Latin America. The history extends back thousands of years along with the architectural brilliance that contains influences from countless regions of the world. Like the countryside and surrounding waters, the history and architecture is full of life and discovery. I cannot begin to fathom the experiences I may have or whether I am fully capable of absolute appreciation of this opportunity but, the opportunity does greatly excite me.
