As much as I’ve loved the “challenge” of adjusting to school and city life here, it has left me a bit stressed at times! Luckily, if you know where to go, there are places in the city that let you unwind and enjoy a little relaxation. One place I found with the help of my classmates was the Jardín Japonés (Japanese Garden) in Buenos Aires. (At the time I wrote this) Entrance is only 32 pesos, and well worth it. You’ll enjoy koi ponds, exotic plants, and Japanese architecture. In a matter of moments, your city-induced stress will dissolve as you’re transported to a tranquil setting reminiscent of Japan. Beyond the garden itself, there are also opportunities to learn about Japanese culture through the tea house, reading room, gift shop, and more!

I'm a Colorado girl who has fallen in love with Northern California while attending Santa Clara University. If you're curious, I'm a junior working towards a degree in Marketing with minors in Entrepreneurship and International Studies. This fall I'm trading the comforts of campus for the amazing opportunity to study abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I'm excited to test out city living and carry over my interest in photographing, eating good food, and exploring as much as possible!</span></p>
