Help chosing a South/Latin american country to be an exchange student?!?
Help chosing a South/Latin american country to be an exchange student?!?
I'm looking to be an exchange student in a Latin/south american country for a year to help with learning/perfecting spanish and the country choices are: Argentina Chile Costa Rica Dominican Republic Ecuador Honduras Panamá Paraguay Peru which countries are the least racist? I'm just worried I wont fit it. Also is there a drinking age? How is the culture (in the country you think I should go to)? Informacion por favor! (Oh I look like my icon/picture dark tan skin, hazel eyes, golden brownish hair) I just want to make the right selection that fits me best. Because I'm from America I'm very...american cultured but I'm willing to change. Could you give me information and your opinion about the country you think I should live in with a host family for a year? In 2011 (spring or fall) Gracias

i was an exchange student in ecuador in 86-87. i have to say that it was the best year of my life. i found that the people accepted you more as an exchange student without the racism because you were there learning there language and culture. personally i would not got to honduras because of the political problems that are going on and i would not go to the domincan republic because you are one island and you would not be able to see other countries. when i did my exchange program i went to colombia, peru and bolivia. Recently i have been travelling to costa rica. its really nice ( been there 4 times just this year) . in panama you have to deal with to many diseeass (malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever) there are pills for malaria and a shot for yellow fever( i would recommend that shot before you go anywhere down there). ecuador and peru are filled with culture and history ( the indian markets in both countries, machu pichu in peru. i have never been to chile or argentina but i have heard that they are both beautiful countries. i you have anymore questions feel free to email me its gringo1001@yahoo.com ps after my year in ecuador i was pretty good in spanish. after being married to an ecuadorian and now a colombian for the last 17 years i am fluent in spanish. you are making the best decision of your life. hope this helped
