What would you need to be a good cultural ambassador if you return?

There are many things that make you a good cultural ambassador! Here is a list that I created throughout my time while studying.

1. Have an open mind!
2. Try new food. Even if you think you may not like it. BUT if it’s papaya don’t try it. It smells as good as it tastes, which is bad.
3. Don’t think you know everything about everyone because you have a few friends who speak the language. Everyone is different and not all cultures are the same.
4. It’s ok to cry because you are frustrated and people keep speaking to you in English rather than allowing you to practice Spanish.
5. Do everything you can, even if it costs money, even if it is out of your comfort zone, even if you did something similar at home, BECAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW WHEN YOU WILL HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY AGAIN!
