Description

This picture was taken in Buenos Aires, Argentina, outside of Club de Musica. In it is me with my groupmates and professor of the course. While attending Universidad de Palermo I took an events planning course where we learned how to plan all types of different events and even got to put on our own at the end of the semester. My groupmates and I decided to put on a music festival in a small local bar called "Musica Sin Fronteras" and the money we raised by selling tickets was donated to "Voluntarios Sin Fronteras", an organization that provides local kids with sport and art related activities as well as school supplies where needed.

This photo is of me and a group of children living in the village of Andasibe. Every night they would gather there and play soccer and sing songs until the sun set. The children loved us and often gave us makeovers, consisting mainly of intricate hairdos.

I love this photo for so many reasons. The way the cathedral looked in the sunlight, the fact that it was such a cloudless day in Veliko Tarnovo, and the fact that the jet streams in the sky in the background remind me of shooting stars. I couldn't be more grateful to be in such an incredible country like Bulgaria!

Between the Breaths - Leeward Islands
-
Date
-

Description
-
As a student here at Western I have found myself studying so hard to reach my goal, but abroad I was able to experience the goal I am after and seemingly rejuvenated my passions to find excitement in continuing on with the daily grind. As a SCUBA diver, it's hard to explain the emotions and thoughts you experience while underwater. Alongside the silence comes a quiet mind, or a place to let your thoughts drift off with ease. In this picture we are diving off if the coast lines of Statia, an island within the Leeward Islands, and ventured to an abandoned anchor. The anchor itself was immovable and forever stagnant, but the life around and atop the anchor encouraged you to take slower and deeper breaths, to stay down a little longer. Each dive brought to my attention how much I adore the lifestyle of diving, and how the path I am chugging along, is surely the right path.

On a night hike for a field study class at La Selva, I ran into many red eyed tree frogs. These frogs are a national symbol for Costa Rica and difficult to spot on the wild. I was very lucky to see as many as I did, especially this mating pair. The photo was shot on my phone camera with a little teamwork to get the flashlight lighting perfect. Thanks to the frogs for being very patient with me and showing off their beautiful colors.

On the Edge, Galway, Ireland

Description

This is when I was sitting on the edge of Cliffs of Moher looking at the Atlantic Ocean and the Cliffs in front of me. The Cliffs of Moher had been on my bucket list for years and I got to fulfill my wish. It had been a long 4 hour bus ride to get to the Cliffs and we had only a limited amount of time to explore their beauty. But this specific moment, where I was sitting on the edge listening to the wind flow through the grass and the waves hit the rocks, made the early morning and the long drive worth it. Although a famous natural landmark, in this moment it felt personal, as if I was part of the cliffs for that split second. I could feel the grass under my hands, I felt the wind through my jacket and somehow I felt so free yet so insignificant at the same time. This moment is one I will cherish from my travels during study abroad, it was a moment of pure and utter peace.

Fuji-san - Japan
-
Date
-
2014

Description
-
Here we have Mount Fuji, the tallest mountain in Japan, as seen from a small village called Oshino. One thing that my study abroad advisor told me that really stuck with me was, "Studying is important, but also try to take classes that you can only take in Japan." Japanese Folklore was one of those classes. One weekend, we went on a field trip all the way to Mount Fuji. We had to take a two-hour train ride by ourselves, but after we arrived, our professor had readied three rental cars for us, and he was paying for the rest of the trip. We got to go many places including a local Shinto shrine, the village of Oshino, the Narusawa Ice Caves, Aokigahara, and also Mount Fuji. Mount Fuji was still closed at this point, so we only got to go up halfway, but it was still quite the experience. I've studied a lot about Japanese culture, and I've met many Japanese people prior to my year abroad in Japan, so nothing really surprised me. But it wasn't until the very moment that I took this photo that I finally got a clear look at Mount Fuji with my own eyes; that I finally thought, "Wow, I'm really in Japan."

That Aha Moment - Greece

During our trip to Greece we stopped at this bridge just for fun. The bridge was a piece of history from the ottoman period. Bridges like these and many more exist in Greece as sites any passerby can look at and enjoy. It was incredible to be able to stop by and visit these rich and beautiful landmarks with my study abroad group, taking it all in.
