Hola! I am Alex, a freshman at Lynchburg. I am majoring in Biomedical Sciences with a minor in Psychology. I am on the field hockey team and I am also in the Westover Honors Program. I signed up for this trip so that I will be able to expand my world view and be fully submerged in a culture that is unlike any I have experienced. I also decided to go to Chile so that I could learn about traveling on my own and be able to face cultural barriers and problem solve. My main hopes for this trip is to be able to learn more Spanish and also get a feel for how Chileans live. I want to appreciate our differences and not be afraid to learn and ask lots of questions. I also would like to learn more people skills and get more used to interacting with people that are not similar to me.
