Dan’s Adventures in the Southern Cone

As an International Studies major, I want to continue becoming a global citizen. I had the privilege to study abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina last semester and I tried to take advantage of being in South America. I got to travel around and see a bunch of great places. My Spanish skills improved immensely, making me want to go back to Latin America and explore more! I’m going to the Dominican Republic for Spring Break, and although it may seem like college fun, I am determined to experience some culture and practice my Spanish while I’m down there! Hopefully there are more trips down south for me in the future. Here is the StoryMap of my time abroad.

I really enjoyed this storymap. I didn’t realize that you could use background photos so I’m kicking myself for having not put those in mine. I think you were very effective in narrating your time abroad and I can now obviously see why you love Argentina so much. I’ve also always wanted to go to Iguazu falls so seeing that video you posted just furthered that desire. – Cole Wenzel

This is great documentation of your experience! I would have loved to see you reflect on concepts like landscape or cultural-nature interactions.

Great job documenting your experience Dan. Your descriptions under your pictures were very helpful and descriptive. You’re narrative was very clear and descriptive throughout the story. Your videos were especially helpful and a good way to help readers visualize your experiences.

Great job, Dan! Your narrative is easy to follow and shows how well you immersed yourself into the culture and how ambitious you were practicing your Spanish. I thought that your personal photos were a great touch to the project and I particularly like how well you described the location of your apartment. You did a good job addressing the different landscapes and cultures in each city / town / region, however you omitted terms from our readings and discussions that may have enhanced your project. I also liked your blog!

Great work, Dan! I really enjoyed experiencing your story map and learning a little more about your time in Argentina. Your experiences seemed both adventurous and culturally immersive and I am jealous that you had the opportunity to improve your Spanish. Your personal photos and media made the map more interactive as well.
