- 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!

- 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?

- 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.

- TOKYO IS YOURS - Japan
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- Tokyo was an amazing experience for me. The city seemed so developed and alive, while still managing to keep in touch with traditional Japanese culture. I was able to see much more of just a sheer variation of people in Toyko. From businessmen in suits, to guys with crazy spiked orange hair, to girls dressed up like something out of a cartoon. With all of the different shops selling clothes matching each and every different style, Tokyo really seemed like a city where one could be themselves and do what they wanted. It also helped that the weather was wonderful. This particular photo was taken in a more edgy, counter-culture, university age district. As one can see the graffiti and alternative stickers plastered all over the sign. This photo made me realize that despite its size, even a city of 25 million people is a different space to each and every separate person in it. The people make the city, not the other way around.

- Description
- This photo was taken from the top floor of the Musee D'Orsay. Looking through the back of that clock led me to think back in time, back through the years that I have lived, and I was reminded how short and precious time is. Sure, I have regrets, but time is too precious to let those past mistakes influence your future successes. So, the steady hands of this great clock, I keep moving forward - making the most of these amazing experiences that I am blessed to have.

- Nepal plays host to several festivals. We happened to be lucky enough to be there during two of their major ones: Dashain and Tihar, which take place during almost the entirety of October. This was on our last night of the trek in a village called Phaphlu. Dancers perform in the streets for donations, oftentimes inviting the audience to join in. It really was a spectacular sendoff.

- This photo was taken at Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, on the island of St. Kitts. We spent hours taking in the breath taking sights and absorbing the rich and raw history of how this fort came to be and the power and culture it still holds today. On the boat we were taught the history written and portrayed through words, but being on the grounds and exploring the incredible buildings was a lesson all on its own. Words do not compare to emotions you feel when you find yourself engulfed in the modern day historical sites.

- That Aha Moment - Berlin, Germany
- Date
- 2019
- Description
- My family history is deeply tied to the Holocaust and the impact it had on the Ashkenazi Jewish community. I lost an entire branch of my family tree to the Nazi regime... The only surviving members of my family were in the US. My great grandfather, born and raised Jewish, lost his faith in god as he became older because he felt that any god that took his father from him at a young age was no god of his. He married an Italian Catholic woman who was strong and outspoken knew nothing of the Jewish faith but went out of her way to preserve what she could of the family name and faith through food, language, and stories. Think about it, an Italian catholic working woman who spoke Yiddish (Hebrew slang), bore a Austrian Jewish married name with pride, took her kids to catholic church, worked hard to learn all of the family recipes and share them, had the star of David along side the cross, and made sure that her children knew where they came from in the late 1940's and 50's. She made sure that both families were represented in their household, even when she knew that her husband had lost his faith through trying to heal from a great loss. On my study abroad, I made a 24 hour trip to Berlin, on the 30th anniversary of the wall coming down. I made sure to prioritize any holocaust memorial that I could see, and fell into the Jewish Museum in Berlin and the Topography of Terror. At the Jewish Museum I was wandering the main exhibit, a minimal architecture prioritized trance. The building held such impact at expressing the grief and other traumatizing emotions that impacted the community as a whole. In wandering the different axis there was a exhibition room empty, for the first time since the museum opened, being empty one last time before a more permanent exhibit was put in. As I walked through the Libeskind building I had never felt closer to my great grandparents, understood how my popup felt and why he had lost his faith, why my nani took it as her responsibility to preserve our family history. I felt the pain and isolation my popup felt, the anger and resentment he held on to for so long. I felt both of them next to me walking through all of the exhibits comforting me and holding my hand. I lost my popup when I was barely 1 year old and my nani when I was 20. Having both of them there next to me was something unexpected and amazing.

- Description
- Off of the boat within the Caribbean Sea, we did a handful of diving. When moored along the coast line of Saba, the current was so ripping that most of our diving was letting the current take us and simply directing the angle it took you at. This selfie was on a drift dive, so content with letting the ocean's power move my body throughout the dive site. The power you can feel from being surrounded underwater among incredible life, is one that is hard to top. This photo forever captures a feeling in time, that I can never, and will never, forget.

Going to Taiwan was my first real time traveling totally by myself and I knew virtually nothing about the country before arriving. This picture was taken after travelling to the very last subway stop with some locals to hike up Elephant Mountain, which provides a killer view of the city. Taipei 101 really dominates the skyline of the city, and that can be seen in this photograph where the top is not even visible due to how high it reaches.

A center of Norwegian tourism, life, and society, it was only a short T-bane (metro) ride from the University I attended, creating ample opportunities to meet both locals and tourists alike. Banners line the street for EuroPride 2014, which took place over my first full week in Oslo. All of Europe joining together in one city, with one voice, for one reason.

Thanks to the frogs for being very patient with me and showing off their beautiful colors.

I had spent the entire weekend walking around Geneva and traveling on my own without people and it was something I had never done before, which was very exciting. I had a really great time walking around and exploring on my own and snapping photos along the way. This one was taken moments before a downpour that I got caught in but I liked it because the water is so blue and the lighthouse in the middle is a great eye-catcher.

- So Much Gelato - Italy
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- We all were amazed by the Italian food, especially the gelato. So we made a point to have at least two or three different scoops of it a day! It was easy to do seeing as there was a gelateria on almost every corner. On those days that we were served gelato like this though, we would call it a day and count one scoop as about three. 🙂 There was just so much gelato, so much.

- Snacking Vervet Monkey - Tanzania
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- We drove up to an animal sighting to discover a troop of Vervet monkeys. But this sighting was far from normal. A previous observer had carelessly tossed his sack lunch into the monkey's more than willing hands. We helplessly watched as this Vervet inspected the contents of the bag and settled on a cracker, before continuing to eat every morsel inside. A younger male approached to see what all the fuss was about, and ended up with a small scrap of plastic from the bag itself. This young monkey, having never seen anything like it before, decided to taste the bag. And there was nothing we could do. This moment made me really realize the devastating impact we can have on the beautiful creatures we cohabitate with on this planet. If only we stop and think about our actions, all of them, perhaps we can make a positive change in the world.

- Sharing Couscous - Morocco
- Date
- 2019-09-14
- Description
- This is one of the first meals that I had when I arrived in Morocco for the first time. This was the moment when it struck me that I really was in another country, with a completely different culture from mine. Sharing this communal meal of couscous (which was really delicious) with everyone at the table was a new experience for me, a new way of eating food. Despite the cultural differences, I was able to connect to the other people around the table and start to build relationships. It was a beautiful, eye-opening moment for me.

- This photo was taken during my hike up Schöckl Mountain located in Graz, Austria. To me this photo captures the fall season perfectly. The vibrancy of the leaves speaks for its self.

- SakuraSakura - Japan
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- One of the things I have dreamed of doing since I started studying Japanese was to go Hanami (literally flower viewing). Hanami involves going to the park and sitting under the beautiful cherry blossoms while enjoying food and drinks with friends and family. To me, cherry blossoms are one of the most aesthetically pleasing things to the eyes. Hanami ususally lasts about a week, and it's so big in Japan that they have blooming forecasts so that you can find out when the cherry blossoms are at their peak. It's times like these when I wish I actually had a real camera, as even this photo does not capture the true beauty of the cherry blossoms I saw that day.
