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.

Kioni Paniyiri (Town Festival) - Greece
-
Date
-
2014
-
Description
-
Our last official evening together as a group landed on the very special evening - Kioni's Paniyiri or town festival. A stage was built, the dancing circle cleared, food prepared, and lots of seating for the bustling, wildly entertaining evening of feasting on great food, dancing with the whole town, and laughing together. It was a wonderful way to say goodbye to the little village that we all fell in love with and to each other, after forming a close-knit bond in a short amount of time.

This was my absolute favorite part about my trip. During the boat trip on the last two days of our trip our whole group had the opportunity to snorkel with sea lions and a whale shark. It was incredible to be so close to such amazing creatures.

Passing Through Mountain Passes - Ladakh, India
-
Date
-
2014
-
Description
-
This photo captures our group walking along the first mountain pass in the Himalaya Mountains. We traveled along the passes by jeep, van, or travel bus, along slivers of roads meant for compact vehicles, and dodging cliffs and edges the entire ride. The structure on the right of the photo is called a stupa, a symbolic structure within Buddhism, a source of fascination and learning while abroad. Stupas were scattered throughout the land, along mountain passes, roads, and within every village on the Tibetan Plateau.

Maasai Modesty - Tanzania
-
Date
-
2014
-
Description
-
Upon her realization, an hour into our homestay, that I had brought my camera along, she rushed us out of the hut made entirely of tree branches and goat dung to take pictures of everything she could. But as soon as the camera turned on her, her eyes cast downward, her way of showing modesty and dignity in her Maasai culture. Flies coated her scalp, and her brilliantly-colored clothing was dingy from wear and work, but her joyful spirit was contagious. I left that day with hundreds of photos taken by the true residents of the land.

Las Salinas Grandes, Argentina
-
Date
-

-
Description
-
This photo was taken in Las Salinas Grandes in northern Argentina. I had the opportunity to travel with a group of international students, including the friends I made at my university (Universidad de Palermo), to this amazing place. Las Salinas Grandes is the perfect place to take pictures based on the illusion of perspective. It is also located 3,450 meters above sea level and do not be fooled by the short sleeves, it was 50 degrees outside!

The World Is Your Oyster! - Madrid, Spain
-
Date
-
2014
-
Description
-
This photo was taken in Madrid, Spain. It was the beginning of my and fellow WWU student Keely Hausken's backpacking adventure, after both of our study abroad programs had finished. Backpacking taught us so many lessons about spontaneity and self-sufficiency, and was an absolutely amazing experience.

Time is Precious - France
-
Date
-
2014
-
Description
-
This photo was taken from the top floor of the Musee D'Orsay. Looking through the back of that clock led me to think back in time, back through the years that I have lived, and I was reminded how short and precious time is. Sure, I have regrets, but time is too precious to let those past mistakes influence your future successes. So, the steady hands of this great clock, I keep moving forward - making the most of these amazing experiences that I am blessed to have.

Everything Happens for a Reason - Paris, France
-
Date
-
2019
-
Description
-
This photo was taken when we were on a boat tour along the river through Paris to sight see with my program. As we were passing under bridges and the brick walls along the river, I spotted this spray painted on a wall. "Everything happens for a reason" has always been a motto that I lived by and that was instilled in me from my dad. It's a phrase that reminds me there is something to learn from every situation and to be present in what is happening, right now. When we were on the boat tour and happened to pass this spray painted on a random wall, I was hit with a wave of emotion. Seeing this quote was a reminder to me that my experience abroad is pushing my comfort zone and pushing me further than I thought I could go for a reason. There is truly something new to learn everyday and growth comes from hard times. It was a reminder that I have this opportunity for a reason and to make the most of it.
