Title: Amazonian False Scorpion - Ecuador
Date: 2019
Description: Our guide in the Amazon, Rolando, saw this false scorpion (actually a spider) on the ground and picked it up for us. In the picture, it's sitting on my elbow, while Jeremy looks a little bothered in the background. The Amazon was one of the most incredible things I've ever experienced. It's so beautiful, and feels so peaceful. My time in Ecuador, and especially my time in the Amazon, made me realize how much I want to travel more, and try everything I can (like holding the false scorpion, or eating live beetle larvae at the local village). The trip inspired me to pursue a career abroad, particularly in developing countries like Ecuador.

Title: Rosario, Argentina
Date: 2019
Description: It was taken from the top of the "Monumento de la Bandera" or "National Flag Memorial". The Argentine flag was first flown on the other side of the nearby river by its creator, Manuel Belgrano (on February 27, 1812) and this memorial was inaugurated on the anniversary of his death (June 20, 1957). I am pictured here with my grandpa's friend Susana while the Argentine flag flies in the background.

Title: Perspective
Date: 2019
Description: This was when my program took us on a boat tour along the river of Paris and my friend looked at the Eiffel Tower through the window as we passed it. I feel this photograph depicts my talent because it's all about the perspective. I wanted to show the perspective of what it's like looking up at the Eiffel Tower and to feel as though you were looking through her eyes. It's a famous monument I had only ever seen in movies and seeing it in person was surreal. This picture captured a moment where my friend was taking it all in.

Title: Beauty of Austria and Friendship
Date: 2019
Description: This photo was taken on top of Schöckl Mountain located in Graz, Austria. It's the local mountain here in Graz. It is special to me because it was a hard hike to get to the top. My friends and I bonded over that experience. It showcases the beauty of Austria and the beauty of friendship.

Title: Lanús, Argentina
Date: 2019
Description: This picture was taken in Lanús, Argentina. One of the biggest reasons I wanted to study abroad in Argentina was to see my relatives again and learn more about the country my mother's side of the family is from. My mother moved away when she was 16 but has managed to keep in touch with family in Argentina all these years. Here I am with my grandpa's cousin and her family enjoying a traditional Argentine asado, this is also the last picture taken of my great, great aunt Adela (pictured in the wheelchair) before she passed away. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to study abroad when I did.

Title: My Ah-Hah! Moment - Salinas Grandes, Argentina
Date: 2019
Description: This photo represents my Ah-Hah! Moment because it accurately shows my experience of jumping from my life in Bellingham to Argentinian culture. Fully jumping into a new culture has made me experience a transformation of myself like no other. I have gained a sense of independence, broadened my world view, and realized that I am capable of more than I thought before going abroad.

Title: Ferhat Pasha Mosque - Republika Srpska, Bosnia & Herzegovina
Date: 2019
Description: This photo shows the painted dome of the mosque. This mosque was destroyed in the 1990s during the ethnic cleansing of Bosniak Muslims by Serbs in the wars of the 1990s. It was my cohorts first stop on our week-long excursion dedicated to learning about and honoring the more than 8,000 muslim victims killed in the Genocide. The mosque was rebuilt in 2001 and now signifies the resilience of Bosniak Muslims and their refusal to be erased.

Title: 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!

Title: 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.

Title: Insignificance - Interlaken, Switzerland
Date: 2019
Description: This photo was taken on a hike through the mountains in Lauterbrunnen. The feeling of insignificance is a very humbling experience and this was one of those moments. When I went to Switzerland I had only been abroad a month and around this time I was going through the normal waves of culture shock where I was starting to miss home. Switzerland was a place that gave me a refresh of home, the smell of fresh air and rain, being surrounded by mountains and complete beauty grounded me. It helped me feel connected to home even though I was far from it. Switzerland holds a special place in my heart because it came when I needed it most. This photo was taken in a moment where I knew I would come back to Switzerland someday. It's unfathomable how mountains and nature that beautiful exist. Although I may have seemed insignificant to the towering mountains, the mountains will always be significant to me.

Title: 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.

Title: Spectacular Obstacles
Date: 2019

The memorial felt like a testament to the human spirit and the incredible obstacles that face scientists, locals and hikers who want to experience this incredible ecosystem.

Title: A Tihar Sendoff!
Date: 2019
Description: 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.
