“I think the most valuable aspect of my semester in Merida was living with my local Mamá and her two daughters. I felt like I was better able to integrate myself into daily life and understand complexities that you don’t get from being a tourist. Connecting with Dede, Gina, and André was one of the most valuable experience of my life. My favorite memories came from conversations and activities with them, like when I got to help make pastellitos and wedding cookies with Dede at the kitchen table!”
