I am a third year BESS student, born and raised in San José, Costa Rica. I have always loved my country’s culture and history, and now, living in the hectic, international environment that characterizes the city of Milan, I realize more than ever the importance of highliting the relevance of Latin American countries in a global context. I think LATAM AID is a great opportunity to do so, and it has provided a space to learn from and share with people that are also passionate about the intricacies of this region.
