Hey! My name is Hilary Winiarski and I’m studying in beautiful Florianopólis, Brazil! The seasons are opposite here as you may know, so as fall has already started in Connecticut, summer is starting here. I’ve made many friendships here, as well as meeting other international students from Spain, Norway and Germany! Although I have been here a time before, as I continue to study and live here, I’m discovering new places and things that I hadn’t before including the amazing food here, including chicken heart or chocolate pizza. I had a strange thought in my head when I heard of the two, until I tried them (not together of course)! It’s great embracing the different lifestyle and erasing the language barrier. Indeed, it is an unforgettable experience.
