Portugal has been nothing short of amazing. The beautiful city never fails to amaze me and the great people I have met in this program have already given life long memories. I have visited a couple cities here in Portugal and my favorite location thus far has been, Sintra. At Sintra, I visited a castle that appeared to be in its own world filled with greenery and serenity. I was moved to sit down and truly soak up the great environment. Additionally, I have really enjoyed the business visits here in Portugal to a cork and police oil farm. My favorite was the olive oil farm and I really enjoyed listening to Eduardo?s presentation and seeing the passion he has for his home grown oil. I quickly noticed that businesses here put a bigger emphasis on ethics and I admire their ability to do so. I hope to bring back some of their etiquette when conducting business in the states.
I have had a great experience bonding and learning with my fellow Aggies. They are great individuals and I really enjoy this group of people. From the bus rides to the business visits their are never dull moments. They make the trip an even better experience and I am happy that I attended this program.I look forward to learning more about Portugal and the great culture that they have here. ?Obrigado!
