Background

I am a sophomore at Alma College. I am planning to Major in Spanish. (possibly minor - haven't really decided yet.)

Why I'm taking this trip

I am taking this trip not only to help me pin down my major/minor but also because I think it is a once in a life time opportunity. Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands seem like a very beautiful place to begin my traveling experiences!

I will be rooming with Lauren Brotsky during the Ecuador stay. We are both very excited that our host family has a 19 year old daughter. We hope we will become good friends!

Trip Expectations

The trip to Ecuador will be my first out of the country experience. I haven't even been to Canada! The trip is what is going to determine whether I major or minor in Spanish. I figure if I love being abroad, then I'll major. Otherwise, I'll minor. I would ideally like to be a Spanish translator. I am actually going between the idea of being a Spanish translator and being a Spanish teacher. If I decided to translate, I hope to someday work for a translating company. This would require me to major in Spanish and have a double minor in English and Communication. (or a double major - who knows!) I have had two years of Spanish in high school and I just completed my freshman year at Alma where I took beginners Spanish.
