Umbrella Street - Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria
-
Date
-
2019

Description
-
It was the moment I saw the "umbrella street" that I fell in love with the little town of Blagoevgrad where my host university is. When I arrived, it didn't feel like a very developed town and there was lots of graffiti everywhere that I wasn't used to, and that I thought affected the look of the town. The first weekend though, I went shopping and turned to walk down the main street when I had to stop and take in the fun, colorful, and whimsical umbrellas that lined the street spanning the whole town. It was completely unexpected, and at the same time, the perfect touch.

This was taken one day when our host mom took us out in the water to gather sea urchins for dinner. I really enjoy this photo especially since I was in a hurry to take it as my camera had no life to it. When I went back to look at the photo, I was very happy to see this moment frozen in time. It reminds me of warm sea air, the perfect breeze, and a happy and full heart.

Masai Tribe - Tanzania

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.

Synchronize - Oslo, Norway

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.

Hidden in an Oaxacan Market - Oaxaca, Mexico
-
Description
-
This photo is particularly important to me because it features Senora Mane, a lovely woman who brought us into her family to experience the local traditions in Oaxaca, Mexico around day of the dead. Here we are in front of her stall in a market in Oaxaca, where you can see the traditional "papel picado" that she sells. This brightly colored paper is just one of the many traditions she introduced us to that week, along with traditional foods, the altars for "Dia de los Muertos," and the celebrations of her hometown. Her open house and heart created an unforgettable trip and allowed us to gain an amazing understanding of Mexican traditions and culture.

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.
