Title: Capital of Culture
Date: 2019-09-14
Description: This photo was taken in Plovdiv, one of the more popular towns in Bulgaria. I feel so lucky to have been in Plovdiv in 2019 because this year it is one of the two European Capital's of Culture. The Capital of Culture initiative highlights the role of culture in building identity and over 300 projects have been organized in Plovdiv. They include festivals, exhibitions, and theater productions. Plovdiv is especially proud of its artwork, and this lion was my absolute favorite!

Title: Sharing Couscous - Morocco
Date: 2019-09-14
Description: This is one of the first meals that I had when I arrived in Morocco for the first time. This was the moment when it struck me that I really was in another country, with a completely different culture from mine. Sharing this communal meal of couscous (which was really delicious) with everyone at the table was a new experience for me, a new way of eating food. Despite the cultural differences, I was able to connect to the other people around the table and start to build relationships. It was a beautiful, eye-opening moment for me.

Title: The Edge of Catastrophe - Poas Volcano, Costa Rica
Date: 2019-09-14
Description: Poas Volcano is one of Costa Rica's most active volcanoes. I have always been fascinated by the ecosystems surrounding volcanoes, so shortly into the semester I took the opportunity to visit. Poas had been closed for a couple of years due to volcanic activity. The national park was opened for about two months before it erupted once more, a week after I had visited. Seeing an active volcano made me realize the fragility and dependence of life on the environment.
