During his Bonderman journey, Héctor wants to explore the interconnection between different Latinx cultures and how similar or different they are from his own. He plans to travel to non-Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America, where he aims to discover how traditions, history, lifestyle, and other aspects of the culture resonate with him as a Boricua. After visiting Latin America, Héctor will visit countries outside of the Western Hemisphere where Latinx communities have prospered. His goals are to understand the native-immigrants’ relations and reflect on how the US-immigrants’ relations could be improved.
