- Home - The Azores, Portugal
- Date
- 2019
- Description
- I knew that when I decided to study abroad in Portugal that a trip to the Azores would be obligatory, as my great-grandparents left these islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean nearly a century ago. I was hit hard by emotions as I stepped off the plane. I was where my ancestors had lived, where they had laughed, where they had loved. I was walking in the same fields they had played in and were buried in. A place that should have seemed unfamiliar was the opposite of that; I was home.

- Date
- 2019
- Description
- Climbing Pico, Portugal's highest peak at over 7,700 feet, wasn't easy. What was easy was appreciating the boundless views provided from the summit. The azure waters of the Atlantic surrounded me, and I knew there would just never quite be another view like this.

- They say experience is the best teacher. That's why I let our guide put a spider, one of many Amazonian species we were learning about on a night walk, on me. They can't say I wasn't trying to learn!

- Description
- Being able to see the famous endemic species of the Galapagos in person was a privilege. Part of the privilege is respecting the wildlife in its environment. When this blue-footed booby glared at me, I knew my photography time was done.
