So, I’ve decided that my internship has the power to make me quite nostalgic, as I am thinking about studing abroad and travel each and every second of the day. At the moment, I’m sifting through my Queretaro photos and video that can perhaps be used in collateral…or website content…or anything really. ANYWAY… So…I came [...]

future STA Travel’s 2009 World Traveler Interns?

learning Spanish tongue twisters
Sept 13th, 2007 School was fine today. We went to a different English class today to practice English/Spanish. Today we worked on teaching each other tongue twisters.

las primeras tres dias!
August 19th, 2007 Well, I am finally here! It seems surreal that I am here in Mexico for the next four months but it is slowly sinking in. I guess I’ll start from the beginning. We left Salem in the afternoon make the hour long trek up to PDX – here are my sister and [...]
