Hi, I’m Santiago, a 17-year-old with infectious energy and a natural instinct for embracing the unexpected. Growing up across three cultures — Venezuelan, Swiss, and Colombian — has allowed me to see the world through many different perspectives, making me curious, adaptable, and easy to connect with. Whether I’m trying a new sport, exploring a new place, or starting a conversation with someone I’ve just met, I’m always fully engaged and excited for the experience. Languages are one of my greatest passions. I am fully fluent in French and Spanish, have strong skills in English and Italian, and I am currently learning German. More than anything, I see this exchange year as an opportunity to step outside of my comfort zone, grow as a person, and bring my enthusiasm to everything a new culture has to offer. #195997
