Title: Las Salinas Grandes, Argentina
Date: 2019
Description: This photo was taken in Las Salinas Grandes in northern Argentina. I had the opportunity to travel with a group of international students, including the friends I made at my university (Universidad de Palermo), to this amazing place. Las Salinas Grandes is the perfect place to take pictures based on the illusion of perspective. It is also located 3,450 meters above sea level and do not be fooled by the short sleeves, it was 50 degrees outside!

Title: City Bell, Argentina
Date: 2019
Description: This picture was taken in City Bell, Argentina. It is the town that my mother grew up in before moving to the United States at 16. Today we still have family living there and I am pictured with my great aunt Blanca, who I surprised when I showed up at her doorstep after not seeing her for five years. She could not believe I had come all that way to study and live so near to her (I'm an hour train ride away). It was hard to keep the secret since it took months of planning but it was worth it!

Title: Rosario, Argentina
Date: 2019
Description: It was taken from the top of the "Monumento de la Bandera" or "National Flag Memorial". The Argentine flag was first flown on the other side of the nearby river by its creator, Manuel Belgrano (on February 27, 1812) and this memorial was inaugurated on the anniversary of his death (June 20, 1957). I am pictured here with my grandpa's friend Susana while the Argentine flag flies in the background.

Title: Lanús, Argentina
Date: 2019
Description: This picture was taken in Lanús, Argentina. One of the biggest reasons I wanted to study abroad in Argentina was to see my relatives again and learn more about the country my mother's side of the family is from. My mother moved away when she was 16 but has managed to keep in touch with family in Argentina all these years. Here I am with my grandpa's cousin and her family enjoying a traditional Argentine asado, this is also the last picture taken of my great, great aunt Adela (pictured in the wheelchair) before she passed away. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to study abroad when I did.
