One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I grew up in a rural/suburban area in Pennsylvania surrounded by farmland, where one of the most important skills to learn is how to pass a horse on the road without scaring it / hitting it. The first time I ever lived in a city was when I was 18 years old and went abroad for two months to live in Buenos Aires! I learned how to navigate subway and bus systems there, while also working on my Spanish :)

Soy de Pensilvania, de un lugar muy tranquilo y rodeado por granjas. Allí, no solo hay coches en las calles, sino caballos también! La primera vez que viví en una ciudad era cuando tenía 18 años - fui a Buenos Aires por dos meses. Allí, aprendí como navegar el metro y los autobuses públicos, y practicaba español.
