A Journey Led with Heart and Experience
As an English university professor with extensive experience leading international cultural programs, I’ve guided students and professionals on transformative journeys abroad- including immersive experiences in Toronto, Canada. Now, I’m thrilled to lead this new chapter in Mendoza, Argentina, a city that was once my home and still lives in my heart. Together with a passionate team of local experts and educators, I’ve designed a program that invites you to experience Mendoza like a local, not a tourist. You’ll discover its hidden corners, rich traditions, and warm community through the eyes of people who know and love it deeply. This is more than a trip - it’s a chance to live the culture, learn the language, and fall in love with Mendoza the way I did.
In the heart of Mendoza, the Universidad del Aconcagua stands out as a respected private university, offering strong post-secondary programs. Just steps away, El Centro Cuyo Canada fosters cultural and educational exchange between Argentina and Canada through language instruction and international collaboration. Together, these institutions form the foundation of our Cultural Experience Program, providing students with both academic depth and meaningful cross-cultural engagement.
