Amanda's Volunteer Experience in Buenos Aires

Hi, I'm Amanda, and this is Socrates. I'm with the Mente Argentina volunteer program. It was a great program, because my best friend from home and I wanted to come to Argentina and volunteer and practice our Spanish. Mente was great because they set us up with a hospital to volunteer in, where we got to practice Spanish and interact with little kids, and we made so many great friends there. We met so many amazing people, and through Mente we were able to meet even more people. They had a lot of excursions and social activities planned, so we never felt like we were alone here, and it was an amazing experience. I love the culture. I love the food, the language, the shopping here, and the SUBE, how you can get everywhere for nothing on the SUBE or the bus. It's incredible. Our host family was amazing. Mente did a great job finding us the perfect homestay. It was a really awesome experience. I'm sad to leave.
