Title: Masai Tribe - Tanzania
Date: 2014
Description: This is a photo of the Masai Tribe that my group of volunteers and I had the opportunity to visit. They performed their traditional dance and song for us upon arrival, and then invited us into their household structures and informed us of their way of living. It was a very inspirational and eye-opening experience that I will never forget.

Title: Kalimera! - Ithaca, Greece
Date: 2014
Description: A beautiful afternoon on the small waterfront of Kioni village on the island of Ithaca, Greece with one of the many resident boats. The people of Kioni are warm and welcoming, always greeting you with a "Kalimera!" and smiles. The awe-inspiring beauty in simplicity is found every where you go, and it is clear why Odysseus made his famous journey back to his island of Ithaca.

Title: Synchronize - Oslo, Norway
Date: 2014
Description: From Norway's Parliament building (left) to the Royal Palace at the end of the street, Karl Johans gate is in every way the main street of Oslo. 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.

Title: Studying Trees from the Inside Out
Date: 2019
Description: As an environmental science student, many of my classes abroad involve doing field studies. For my Natural History of Mesoamerica class, we studied plants in Monteverde. This photo was taken as I was inside of a Strangled Fig tree that had taken over the host tree and left a hollow inside.

Title: History and Legend - Greece
Date: 2014
Description: One of the three iconic windmills of Kioni village on the island of Ithaca, Greece. The people of Kioni are very proud of these historic mills, even lighting them in the evening so they can be seen. This photo is taken from the windy hill the three iconic windmills reside, facing towards the beautiful little village of Kioni on Odysseus's homeland of Ithaca.

Title: Duomo on a Foggy Morning - Florence, Italy
Date: 2014
Description: Almost every morning for 8 months I would walk past the Duomo in Florence to go to class. The Duomo, a massive Cathedral that looms over the city like a giant fist, casts it's shadow and impression on all that visit Florence. Needless to say, it is hardly ever without tourists surrounding its glistening marble walls. This photo was taken on a foggy morning that I had to wake up at 4 am to catch a bus, and there was not a single other person in Piazza Del Duomo. As I rushed to catch the bus I momentarily looked up to see the giant structure looking back at me. I felt small but peaceful as the shutter from my camera echoed across the stone. It was a moment I will not forget.

Title: KAMAKURA DAYS - Kamakura, Kanagawa, Japan
Date: 2014
Description: Our WWU friend Daniel Lizarraga (left) was visiting from Akita located in northern Japan, so we planned a weekend trip to Kamakura, Kanagawa, better known as the home of the samurai (12th and 13th centuries). The town was filled with lots of historical monuments, mainly Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. Pictured behind us is the Kamakura Daibutsu, or Great Buddha of Kamakura, and we found out that it's actually hollow inside. Kamakura is a historical city with lots to see, and the locals are very friendly, too. One elderly woman that we talked to while we were in her shop told us that our host university, J.F. Oberlin University used to be an all-girls school, something that not a lot of people know.

Title: Parque Güell - Barcelona, Spain
Date: 2014
Description: This picture was taken at Parque Güell in Barcelona, Spain. This was a particularly inspiring moment for me because I had heard about the amazing architecture by Antoni Gaudí for years, but I was finally there, experiencing it in person! From this viewpoint, we could watch the sunrise over Barcelona and see the ocean, the construction of La Sagrada Familia, and see all the intricate detailing put into Parque Güell. It was truly amazing!

Title: Paragliding - Santa Felix, Colombia
Date: 2014
Description: Two weeks into my international internship, I had the opportunity to visit a small mountain village known as Santa Felix and tried paragliding for the first time. In a way, I liken paragliding to the study/intern abroad experience as a whole. The prospect of doing it is intimidating, perhaps even a little frightening. Yet once you take the plunge, you’ll find yourself floating blissfully through the sky, having the time of your life, and seeing the world from a perspective that you never would have been able to if you hadn't taken a chance.

Title: The Adventures of Bori Cha
Date: 2019-11-04
Description: After coming to Korea, I have discovered a newfound love of Korean barley tea and I find myself drinking it almost every day. Busan was no exception and as I walked along the seaside trail of Haeundae beach, I briefly set down my drink to take in the beautiful scenery. Everything around me was so stunning and I was glad to have my little bottle of barley tea along with me.

Title: Morning in Jemaa el-Fna: Morocco
Date: 2019-02-16
Description: Jemaa el-Fna is known as the "busiest square in Africa," surrounded by a maze of souks, filled with snake charmers, merchants hawking wares, tourists, locals, motorcycles and movement. In the morning however, the still square was empty and this fruit vendor was setting up his stall as the morning call to prayer rung out of speakers all around the Red City of Marrakesh. A small moment of daily life isolated from the usual hustle and bustle of the city.

Title: 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.

Title: Eiffel Tower at Night
Date: 2019-10-28
Description: This photo was taken on one of my last nights in Paris. I hadn't been able to see the Eiffel Tower light up and I finally was able to go see it and it literally was the most beautiful sight I had ever seen in my life. It reminded me how lucky I am to be able to see this amazing tower that I had dreamed about for years.

Title: Fjordkajakk - Hardangerfjord, Norway
Date: 2019-05-16
Description: My kayak felt so small compared to the Hardangerfjord. With a guide and one friend, we spent a day kayaking one of the furthest inlets of the majestic landscape. When we were making the three-kilometer crossing of the fjord to return to Eidfjord in the evening, the water got completely still and reflected the sharp landscape like a mirror. Of all the incredible things that I did in my year abroad, I don't know if any of them top this quietly epic moment.

Title: Like Wind in My Sails
Date: 2019-07-17
Description: This photo was taken after an exam aboard a 45 foot catamaran as I was studying marine biology in the caribbean. Our academics were based around the marine ecosystems that we encountered through out daily diving. It seems that it would be hard to study on a boat while sailing island to island, but as you are surrounded by the nature you are so passionate about, it becomes like second nature to want to know more and more. Not only did we learn about specific marine life and global ecosystems, we learned to sail and sustain ourselves on a sail boat for a month. This humbling experience is one that is hard to articulate, but know that I have a smile on my face the whole time I am writing this.
