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: 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: Lake Bled
Date: 2019-04-17
Description: To me, this photo represents both the amazing architecture and natural beauty of Slovenia. Nestled just south of the Julian Alps and an hour north of the capital of Ljubljana, this is the only naturally-occurring island in the country. An imposing castle perched on a rock outcrop overlooking the lake and some good (steep) hiking in the woods coupled with the charming island church solidified Bled as one of my favorite places that I visited. Legend has it that your wishes will come true if you ring the church bell three times...

Title: England v. USA
Date: 2018-11-15
Description: England v. USA: London, UK - When we think of British culture, soccer (or "football") is often one of the first things that comes to mind. This photo is at Wembley Stadium, which can hold 90,000 people for large events. The game was between my host country of England - "The Three Lions" (who won handily to nobody's surprise) - and the US Men's National Team. This match represented both the culture I'm from and the culture I was living in, through a game that is understood all over the world and transcends geographic and cultural boundaries to bring people together.
