Title: Cocos en la playa!
Date: 2019-07-05
Description: This is a photo of me discovering coconuts on the beach of Playa Uvita. The landmark I was visiting is known as the Uvita Whale Tail because it is a natural outcrop that you can see from space at low tide and it resembles the tail of a whale. It was an amazing time standing in the middle of the whale tail. Waves wash onto the shore from both sides and then when the tide gets high enough, the waves crash into each other and eventually engulf the landmark. It is one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Costa Rica, if not the entire world. Our program we were studying was Global Entrepreneurship and innovation in the social sector. Our final week was an independent study week and I chose to study the unique market of hostels in Costa Rica, in particular, the Flutterby house located in Uvita ten minutes from where I took this photo. It is a hot spot for tourists to see the landmark and they often stay at the Flutterby house for its nice amenities, cheap surfboard rentals and prime location near some of the best surf on most beautiful beach in the world.

Title: 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.

Title: Las Escaleras de La Catedral de Granada - Spain
Date: 2014
Description: Next to one of the main plazas of Granada sits the the grand Cathedral. Everyday, come rain or shine, performers were there to greet the tourists and on the weekends church bells rang with joy to celebrate a new marriage. On weekdays students filtered in and out for school tours, and always large masses were held. Engaging with the people in this square was when I finally began to feel that Granada was my home. Eventually, the cathedral became a normal sight to me, and I became more concerned with getting to my favorite churros con chocolate restaurant around the corner and catching an impromptu flamenco show.

Title: A Gnawa Lesson
Date: 2019-11-09
Description: This photo is of me learning to play a Gnawan song. Gnawa is an important musical tradition in Morocco, with Gnawan music being played at many of the important festivals and holidays in Morocco. This particular day was right before Aid-el Mawlid, the Muslim holiday celebrating the Prophet Mohammed's birth. I learned to play a certain rhythm and tried to sing the lyrics of the song, which were about Allah, and while I have a long way to go before I am a Gnawa musician, I had fun.

Title: Great Buddha of Kamakura
Date: 2019-07-13
Description: Japan. The photo is of the Great Buddha of Kamakura. Professor Tomasi took us to see some of the ancient temples of Kamakura some dating as far back as the 1200s. I took this photo before I saw the full temple. The buddha towers over the whole mountain watching anyone who gets close enough to approach. Intimidating but also inspiring.

Title: Class 5-3 - Japan
Date: 2014
Description: For our Japanese Folklore class we took many field trips, including an optional volunteer opportunity at a local elementary school. Unfortunately, I'm unable to post a photo with the children, as I was unable to contact the school for their permission. It was a great experience. The children weren't interested in us because we spoke English, or because we were foreigners. They simply saw us as new friends and as new playmates. Here, I'm pictured with my friend, Keitaro Hanzawa (right), with a warm welcome message full of drawings and comments from the fifth graders that we volunteered with. My favorite part is probably the blue text right under the "W" in "Welcome," since it's just a list of random English words that they knew written in Japanese like "jump" and "magazine."

Title: Greece
Description: Before I went to Greece I didn't know anything about the sheer amounts of cats that roam the streets. Everywhere we went, especially in cities, cats would be all around. Even up in monasteries and historic sites we visited, cats would be there. This cat, was right outside the old Greek theater at the Oracle of Apollo.

Title: England v. USA
Date: 2018-11-15
Description: England v. USA: London, UK - When we think of British culture, soccer (or "football") is often one of the first things that comes to mind. This photo is at Wembley Stadium, which can hold 90,000 people for large events. The game was between my host country of England - "The Three Lions" (who won handily to nobody's surprise) - and the US Men's National Team. This match represented both the culture I'm from and the culture I was living in, through a game that is understood all over the world and transcends geographic and cultural boundaries to bring people together.
