WATCH: Huskies Preview The Trip  |  GIVE: Howlin' Huskies Fund

BOSTON -- The Northeastern field hockey team will be heading abroad for a global experience next week when the Huskies travel to Buenos Aires, Argentina, on June 15 for a seven-day stay. Follow the Huskies on Twitter and Instagram for a behind-the-scenes look during this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
 
While there, the team will take in some of the best sights the city has to offer, immerse themselves in the local culture, and get in some practice with a trio of matches against local clubs.
 
After spending Saturday, June 15 traveling, the team will arrive in Buenos Aires early in the morning on Sunday, June 16. Once their bags are dropped off the team will then visit the San Telmo market, which is the biggest market in the whole city and only open on Sundays.
 
On Monday, June 17 Northeastern will take a comprehensive tour of the city, including locations such as the Avenida Nueve de Julio, The Obelisk, May Square, and Puerto Madero, among others. In the afternoon the team will take on the first of their three exhibition matches, this one against Club GEBA.
 
The morning of Tuesday, June 18 will see the Huskies visit the Ateneo Bookstore, dubbed "the most beautiful bookstore in the world" by National Geographic. Match number two will take place that afternoon, as Northeastern faces off against Club Pueyrredon.
 
The Huskies will use Wednesday, June 19 to take a full-day tour of the "Pampas" Ranch, where they will experience horseback riding, an Argentine BBQ, a folklore music show, and a "Gaucho" horseback riding demonstration throughout the day.
 
Thursday, June 20 will see Northeastern take a guided bike ride of Buenos Aires' parks and lakes in the morning before visiting the Palermo Soho district and playing their third match of the trip against Club Olivos in the afternoon.
 
The final full day in Buenos Aires, Friday, June 21, will be spent visiting the La Boca neighborhood of the city and partaking in a community service activity with local children. 
 
The morning of Saturday, June 22 will give Northeastern the opportunity to do some final exploring in the Recoleta Artisans Market before taking in a professional field hockey match in the afternoon to conclude the trip.
 
ABOUT THE NORTHEASTERN ATHLETICS GLOBAL EXPERIENCE FUND
As a university where teaching and research are grounded in global engagement, Northeastern's impact is being felt in all corners of the world. The general student body shapes the world through experiential learning opportunities with nearly 3,100 partners on seven continents. For varsity student-athletes, however, the demands of a grueling NCAA Division I schedule sometimes provide challenges for those wishing to explore the world during their time at Northeastern.

The purpose of this fund is to provide the athletic director the ability to provide financial assistance to individual athletes or teams when organizing a competitive, educational, or community service global experience, which is defined as any trip outside of the United States.

This trip to Argentina was made possible through donations to the Global Experience Fund, and for that, the student-athletes and staff are incredibly grateful. With your continued support, Northeastern Athletics hopes to continue to create these opportunities for future generations of Huskies as well.
