Title: In the Land of Giants - Norway
Date: 2014
Description: The barren, rocky landscape of Jotunheimen (English: The Home of the Giants) is a stark contrast to Norway's many lush forests; a contrast intensified when you fall asleep on the bus, surrounded by tree-covered hills, and wake up to see only grass, rocks, shrubs, and rugged mountains, rising out of the earth like waking giants. It was like waking up on an entirely different world. As a part of the excursion, we hiked to the top of one of those mountains — Bitihorn. It is from there, exhausted and sore from the rough 2000 ft. ascent, that I captured this picture. Even though I was surrounded by many of my fellow international students, the extensive Norwegian landscape and immense sky made me feel incredibly small and insignificant until I realized that, as a member of the international community, I can break down mountains — mountains that still separate many countries of the world — through friendship, peace, and an open-mind.

Title: Temple in the hills of Northern Thailand
Date: 2019-07-16
Description: This ancient temple is up in the hill tribes of Thailand. I stayed in a Karen hill tribe for a few days while I was abroad. This area is incredible and so different from other Thai culture I have experienced. This temple is beautiful and I got to visit it during buddhist holiday.

Title: Gentiana Kurroo
Date: 2019-10-02
Description: There was an abundance of wildflowers in the Himalayas, but this was one of my favorites. In a country surrounded by jaw-dropping landscapes, sometimes it's the little things that can take your breath away. These wildflowers grew everywhere so taking a picture of one at the top of the hill at one of our earlier campsites felt like a no-brainer and I loved how it turned out.

Title: Music is Everywhere
Date: 2019
Description: Cuba is all about music, dancing, and color. This photo is of a musician playing his trumpet on an otherwise quiet street corner. My favorite part of Cuba was the liveliness of the city and this man's music made the city that much more alive.

Title: Bird: Japan
Date: 2019
Description: During one of our lessons we had a traditional calligrapher come in to teach us. We got to choose a kanji character and he showed us how to write it with the correct stroke order, and then we did it ourselves. I chose the word bird because I like birds. I was really proud of how it turned out!

Title: Mini-Monks at the Tawang Monastery - India
Date: 2014
Description: These young monks were playing on a cell phone on a rooftop just outside of the gompa at the Tawang Monastery. Due to its remote location and restricted access for foreigners, the Mon region of Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh, India is one of the last areas in which Tibetan culture remains mostly intact. With the recent construction of a road leading to the nearby border with Bhutan, the region is no longer as isolated and is increasingly open to outside influence. This photo offers an interesting juxtaposition of traditional culture with the products of such globalization.

Title: Colorful Copenhagen, Denmark
Date: 2019-11-01
Description: This photo was taken during my Fall Break. Copenhagen was one of the most exciting and beautiful places I visited. My ISEP friend from Virginia and I had taken a canal tour, and when we got off, there were all these colorful buildings lining the water. It was freezing cold, but we had to keep stopping to take pictures of all of it.

Title: Rila Monastery
Date: 2019-08-31
Description: During Orientation Week, one of the first places they took us was Rila Monastery. Despite being so high up in the mountains, we were still surrounded by trees on all sides and it was an incredibly spiritual spot to visit because you felt so close to the heavens. The architecture and the artwork throughout almost felt unreal. I've seen lots of churches in Bulgaria since then, but Rila Monastery holds a special place in my heart.

Title: City Bell, Argentina
Date: 2019
Description: This picture was taken in City Bell, Argentina. It is the town that my mother grew up in before moving to the United States at 16. Today we still have family living there and I am pictured with my great aunt Blanca, who I surprised when I showed up at her doorstep after not seeing her for five years. She could not believe I had come all that way to study and live so near to her (I'm an hour train ride away). It was hard to keep the secret since it took months of planning but it was worth it!

Title: Cherry Blossoms and Peace Signs - Japan
Date: 2014
Description: Here is a photo of my friends from Asia University (top row) and me after a day of sitting under the cherry blossoms and sipping on some sake. We asked a stranger to take our photo, and it turned out he was a local high schooler. When he and his friends (bottom row) learned that I was an American student abroad, they really wanted to get a photo together, so we took one big photo together. Here, I'm sporting a WWU T-shirt which doubled as my band uniform when I performed with my AUAP friends at WWU. And of course, no photo taken in Japan is complete without the customary peace signs.
