After living here for a number of months, I have curated a list of my favorite places to visit, eat, and drink coffee. If you have the chance to visit Buenos Aires, you absolutely have to go to these places. MALBA This museum reminds me of a tiny version of the MOMA, but almost…

Shanghai Survival Guide
Over the semester, I’ve come to love living in Shanghai. Reflecting back on my time here, I’ve had the opportunity to do a ton, so I feel like I have some authority on the best things to do in this city. If you’re thinking about studying abroad in China or just stopping by Shanghai for…
Becoming an Expat
Living in a place, even for as short of a time as three months, forces you to consider what it would be like to live there permanently. Before this semester, I would have said I definitely would want to live permanently as an expat in China, at least for a few years at the beginning…
Coming Back to the States

Bariloche
It has been an incredible few days. I arrived in Bariloche on Wednesday afternoon, reminiscing on my Patagonian travels in the south back in January. After dropping my stuff at the hostel, I walked around the town center; it is very Swiss influenced and feels very different from each place I’ve visited. On Thursday, I…
Best of BA
After putting a couple of months in Buenos Aires under my belt, I’m starting to feel qualified as a source for people looking to visit the Argentina Capital! It is definitely interesting to see where the line gets drawn between tourist and resident, and some days I feel more like one then the other. As…
