To travel or stay home, that is the question.

Reminders of the goodness of home make me think about the pros and cons of this study abroad experience and the conscious choice I made to leave the comforts of Southern California. How do I know it will all be worth it? Sure the immersion in a new culture, new language, new university system is a great lesson to experience diversity and learn that the American way is by no means the only way. But when is leaving home not worth the pain? Is all pain growth? I do not regret moving to New York or Buenos Aires, but when you miss the last few months (I pray to God not days) of a loved one's life is it worth it?These thoughts are taking over my mind! If anyone has an answer, send it my way!

Yesterday I bought a plane ticket to go to Patagonia (so glad that process of planning is over!) Will seeing epically majestic glaciers be better than chilling on Valencia? Definitely not better, just different and without so many attached heart-strings.

These things are clearly out of my hands, so I'm just gonna keep reading about the Argentine Revolution and hope someone above will take care of it all.
