Post-Departure – Colleen

When people ask me how my spring break was, I honestly don’t know where to start to describe it. I did and saw so many amazing things that I’m not sure what to talk about first. Do I talk about the massive size of the Andes, the freshest food I’ve ever had, or the great people I met and got to know better?  This trip was one of the most amazing experiences of my entire life, and it far exceeded the expectations I had of the trip. I knew it would be fun, but I had no idea how much I would learn and experience. My favorite thing about Santiago was all of the landscape within the city. I liked that you can live in a big city, but still have these oases like Cerro San Cristobal, or Bicentenario Park, to visit that are so close to where you live. All of these outdoor spaces were really well designed and planned, and I really appreciate that a big city like Santiago recognized the importance of having these spaces open to the general public. What I enjoyed most about the trip though was getting to know all of you guys. I don’t know that many people outside of engineering, so it was really nice to talk and become friends with people in other majors. I think that all of our different backgrounds made the trip a lot more interesting, and I just wanted to say thanks for being such a great group to travel abroad with!
