Background

Bozeman, Montana was not the place for me to learn Spanish and experience a new culture so being the risk taker I am I found an alternative. Sometime in the last year I got the brilliant idea to take the plunge and study abroad for a semester of my Junior year. After all the forms filled out, the countless hours spent trying to talk to my host family, and the massive amount of time on AFS.com trying (unsuccessfully) to prepare myself, here I am living in the Honduran City of Siguatepeque trying to remember what I expected this experience to be like. AFS has a motto, "It's not bad, it is different." and when living in a new country this has shown itself to be completely true. Bozeman is sheltered to say the least. We have our avid hikers, our hunters, our cowboys, our housewives, high school students and everything in between but one thing we don't have is CULTURE. This is one of the reasons I chose to embark on this journey was to experience something new and different, and to say the least I am.
