I have finally gotten to Nicaragua and made friends. Although I left the US feeling a bit overwhelmed and uncomfortable, I am now feeling very confident about the year ahead of me. The other gap year students are so cool and I can't wait to get to know them more. We are finishing up our first day of orientation and I have already learned so much about the country. For orientation, we are staying in a city called Leon. Leon is about 45 minutes from the city where I will be staying, called Chinandega. I am very excited to meet my host family and get settled in to the house and town. I am pleasantly surprised about the cultural differences between Chile and Nicaragua. Not only does Chile use different conjugations of verbs, but they also have different vocabulary words. The difference in dialect will definitely keep me on my toes while I am here.
