My amazing visit to Argentina as a co-leader of the Purdue Study Abroad Program

As a co-leader of the study abroad program in Argentina, I worked closely with the professor and Teaching Assistants as we traveled with the students to ensure they were safe and supported throughout the trip. I helped manage travellogistics, daily activities, and handled any issues that arose along the way. I also assisted with academic activities, where students collaborated with local peers on renewable energy solutions projects such as solar and biodigesters. Additionally, I provided Spanish-to-English translation in various situations, including ordering food at restaurants, shopping at supermarkets, exchanging money, and locating or using localservices. This support helped students feel more comfortable and confident in their daily interactions.
