Going to Mexico has been a dream of mine for a long time. While in Merida, I expect to learn many new things and immerse myself in Mexican culture. While there, I am going to become fluent in Spanish, and hopefully I will make many friends. I am anxious to eat real Mexican food and go to the brewery in Merida. I am also excited for the trips to the Aztec pyramids and other excursions I will be going on, such as travel to Tulum and Playa del Carmen. Overall, I think this is going to be an awesome experience. I expect to have a lot of fun and learn in the process.
