- WWU in Florence - Florence, Italy
- Date
- 2019-11-16
- Description
- Now I know we aren't wearing any Western Gear but that's because I didn't wear it around the city at all. This is me and my friend Emma on the top of Piazza Michaelangelo with the most stunning view of Florence. Emma and I only knew each other a little bit before going to Italy together and now we have become closer than ever.

- The World Is Your Oyster! - Madrid, Spain
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- This photo was taken in Madrid, Spain. It was the beginning of my and fellow WWU student Keely Hausken's backpacking adventure, after both of our study abroad programs had finished. Backpacking taught us so many lessons about spontaneity and self-sufficiency, and was an absolutely amazing experience.

- "With An Open Heart" - Leeward Islands
- Date
- 2019-07-16
- Description
- Throughout my experience sailing between the Leeward Islands, I was taken back by not only the density of history we learned aboard, but the intensity of energy on each island that rang true of how powerful the history is and how present it stayed on each island. Islands were in obvious distraught due to recent hurricanes and local lack of funds to recover, but this never shook the smiles on the local communities faces. We were given the chance to hike through volcanoes and work on the farms of local islands and each second spent among these beautiful souls I felt a shift in my own angle on life and the will to pursue my own passions despite all conflicts. The stories and day to day lifelines of each community on their own islands, taught me so much about stepping my foot into the world outside of my own. Too often we are caught in our own bubbles and forget the pleasure of popping that comfort zone and branching out, to whatever degree you can.

- Window - Cappadocia, Turkey
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- This photo was taken in Cappadocia, Turkey, home to perhaps the largest underground city in the world, home and hiding place to some of the first Christians. Their structures were reminiscent of ant hills. This particular picture was taken in a "castle", built into a hillside, it had a watch tower/window that required a precarious climb up a crumbling staircase as well as multiple churches in its core.

- What to Bring/Not to Bring Lessons - Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria
- Date
- 2019
- Description
- Prior to coming to Bulgaria, I attended orientations and did research on what was commonly worn by Eastern European citizens because I didn't want to make myself vulnerable while traveling. This meant leaving behind: jean shorts, plaid shirts, my Seahawks jersey and accessories, and my Western gear. Naturally, when I arrived over in Bulgaria and saw the other students with plaid shirts and american football gear, I was a little disheartened. But now I know better for next time. Until then, this little makeshift WWU notebook will have to be enough!

- The Waterfall at the End of a Tough Hike
- Date
- 2019
- Description
- This moment was captured by a friend as I took the time after a emotionally and physically grueling hike. There is nothing better than taking a deep breath in front of roaring waters. Feeling the mist from the water on my face and staring in awe at the scenery was worth every second of the hike.

- Washing the fundamentals - Rwanda
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- I will never take washing machines for granted again. The first time I attempted to hand wash my own clothes I was so clueless that one of the maids, with a look of surprised disapproval, walked over, pushed me aside and showed me how it was done. I watched carefully for the mysteries of the inside of washing machines had elude me for the last 24 years. Despite my first hand education, my subsequent clothes washing's left my garments nearly as dirty as before I started. How can something as fundamental as washing my own clothes be something that I had absolutely no idea how to do?

- A Viking in the Cloud Forest - Monteverde, Costa Rica
- Date
- 2019
- Description
- While on a small weekend trip, I had the chance to visit the Cloud forests of Monteverde. This is a really special place because there are not many cloud forests left in the world today. I am grateful that I got the chance to see this one, especially from the hanging bridges above the canopy. I am proud as a Viking to support the environment, even in other countries.

- Unsolved Mysteries - Rwanda
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- This photo was taken when a small group of students and myself found ourselves wandering around an abandoned, pre-genocide military complex. The architecture style was different than any we had seen in Rwanda and there was an eerie stillness in the air as we wondered what it used to be. Although it was totally abandoned, it was no more than 100 yards from the main road through town, a poignant reminder of the events two decades earlier.

- Unity
- Date
- 2019
- Description
- This was the moment after the Sevilla team scored a goal and they all huddled together to celebrate. Fútbol is a prominent sport within Spain but the true beauty of going to a soccer game in Sevilla is the sense of community it brings. At the time I went to the game I had only been abroad for a month and a half and was still learning when it came to my spanish and overall culture, I still felt like an outsider. But coming to a soccer game, hearing the chants and screams of the families in the crowds made everyone rooting for Sevilla in that stadium a family. When we got that goal and the whole stadium erupted, we were all one, we were united.

- Umbrella Street - Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria
- Date
- 2019
- Description
- It was the moment I saw the "umbrella street" that I fell in love with the little town of Blagoevgrad where my host university is. When I arrived, it didn't feel like a very developed town and there was lots of graffiti everywhere that I wasn't used to, and that I thought affected the look of the town. The first weekend though, I went shopping and turned to walk down the main street when I had to stop and take in the fun, colorful, and whimsical umbrellas that lined the street spanning the whole town. It was completely unexpected, and at the same time, the perfect touch.

- Umbrella Man - China
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- I planned to snap a picture of my friend from the gate of the Forbidden City with Tiananmen Square in the background. Looking through the viewfinder just about to take the picture, I saw this man in an umbrella hat rise up slowly out of nowhere directly in the center of the frame; I thought it was so funny that I ended up taking a picture of him right there. In China, no one would give much bother trying to stay out of each other's ways in situations like these, rather, people would wait patiently for the brief, brief moments when there were gaps in the crowds to take their pictures. The guy in my photo had just been squatting, taking a few photos of his son off to the left of the picture.

- Trevor, Junior, and Steve - Kenya
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- In Kochia, Kenya the main focus of my study abroad trip was to build relationships, little did I know the strongest relationships I built were with these three boys. Everyday while walking to the Secondary all girls school, they would walk with me and ask me how my day was and in return I asked them and gave them a ride or two on my shoulders. The most valuable thing I learned from them was that I did not have to seek to discover local culture. While they couldn't communicate in English, I discovered what it truly meant to be Kenyan through them: to love, to take initiative, and practice compassion.
