Green City - Tokyo, Japan
-
Date
-
2019
-
Description
-
The Imperial Palace Garden in the middle of Tokyo. It really struck me how in such a huge, dense urban city as Tokyo could have these pockets of nature. It was really quiet and peaceful in the park, but you could still look up and see tall buildings in any direction. I really admired the respect for nature and allowing room for these green spaces.

This photo was taken at the Avenue of the Baobabs, a sacred stretch of land on the west side of the island. These trees are somewhere from 900-1000 years old. Traditional healers in the area use the bark to make a tea to strengthen bones and give energy.

Lunchtime in the Serengeti - Tanzania
-
Date
-
2014
-
Description
-
This photo was taken late afternoon on an exceptionally warm day in Serengeti National Park. A hundred meters from the road lay two large lionesses and a group of seven cubs. When the pair stood to stretch for a moment, every cub pounced on the chance for an afternoon snack. The lions stood in the middle of a large open savanah, a characteristic landscape of the Serengeti. This was the first time we had seen so many cubs in one location with so few adults nearby.

Plaza Mayor at Night - Salamanca, Spain
-
Date
-
2014
-
Description
-
This was taken in Salamanca, Spain, where we did our studying. This is in the plaza mayor at night, when all the lights were turned on. This was single-handedly the most important place in our trip because this was the place where you met up with people if you had to go somewhere, where you went to hang out if it was too hot in the dorms, where you went to grab a quick tapa and vino after or before dinner, and also, when the world cup was going on, they brought out TVs so the whole community could watch the world cup together. This is Salamanca.

Hike along Seoul City Wall

Date

-
Description
-
Inwangsan, a mountain area where you can hike alongside a portion of the 18.6 km long wall that was built to protect the city from invaders back in 1396. At the top, you can get a glimpse of the incredible views of the entire city and it's absolutely amazing. As hiking culture in Korea is very prominent, locals as well as tourists, can always appreciate the incredible landscape and scenery of such a historically and culturally rich city.

Through the Arch

Description
-
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.

Gamcheon Culture Village - Gamcheon Village, South Korea

Date

-
Description
-
After taking a small bus through the steep and narrow streets, the views of Gamcheon village are incredible as there are so many small locally owned businesses everywhere. What I found most impactful was the views at night because by nightfall nearly all of the crowds disappear; I thought it was even more beautiful at night with small street lights dimly lighting the now sleepy town overlooking the water.

Lujan Flota
-
Date
-

-
Description
-
This picture was taken in Lujan, Argentina. This was the second year Lujan did the Lujan Flota event where there was music, good food and games for the whole family to enjoy. The main part of this event, however, was the many hot air balloons that people were able to see up close, some even letting people get aboard for a little bit! I am pictured here in front of a hot air balloon that has "Lujan" written on it, everything here is named after the Lady of Lujan (the patron saint of Argentina), including me!

Preservation of a Culture
-
Date

Description
-
This photo was taken in Zaouiat Ahansal, a remote mountain village in the Haut Atlas of Morocco when I was there studying development. This village has historical importance as an Islamic religious site but had fallen into disrepair during the French Colonialization. Rather than leave it to crumble, though, many people dedicated to seeing this cultural site preserved have worked to restore the Zaouiat to its original condition, encouraging the village to preserve its lifestyle. This photo captures the mosque and some of the unique mountain architecture of this village and reminds me of the importance of not allowing the diverse cultural traditions to be lost under westernized development.

This is Yai Jem, a Thai grandma who inspired me in many ways. Despite losing much of her and her husbands belongings in a tsunami in 2004, she was constantly making sure I was fed, OK, happy, whatever I needed she made sure I had three. I felt the love she had to share with those around her, she did this for everyone, she made sure everyone had their food before she helped herself.
