Title: Las Salinas Grandes, Argentina
Date: 2019
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!

Title: Double-take - Italy
Date: 2014
Description: This is the first picture we took as a group after all arriving in Italy! Taken in front of one of the first sights we visited (the Basilica of Saint Anthony in Padova, Italy), our guide (who was taking the picture) allowed us to have a little fun with the panorama feature on my camera. If you look closely, you'll see something that isn't quite right. But it was still the first great picture of all 13 of us Vikings. 🙂

Title: By the Ming Tombs - China
Date: 2014
Description: This photo was taken at the Ming Tombs near Beijing China, very close to a section of the Great Wall of China. The entire area is scattered with burial grounds of Ming Dynasty Emperors. To try and stay cool in the summer heat I chose to sport my shirt from Western Washington University's intramural sports competitions.

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.

Title: A Viking in the Cloud Forest - Monteverde, Costa Rica
Date: 2019
Description: While on a small weekend trip, I had the chance to visit the Cloud forests of Monteverde. This is a really special place because there are not many cloud forests left in the world today. I am grateful that I got the chance to see this one, especially from the hanging bridges above the canopy. I am proud as a Viking to support the environment, even in other countries.

Title: What to Bring/Not to Bring Lessons - Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria
Date: 2019
Description: Prior to coming to Bulgaria, I attended orientations and did research on what was commonly worn by Eastern European citizens because I didn't want to make myself vulnerable while traveling. This meant leaving behind: jean shorts, plaid shirts, my Seahawks jersey and accessories, and my Western gear. Naturally, when I arrived over in Bulgaria and saw the other students with plaid shirts and american football gear, I was a little disheartened. But now I know better for next time. Until then, this little makeshift WWU notebook will have to be enough!

Title: WWU in Florence - Florence, Italy
Date: 2019-11-16
Description: Now I know we aren't wearing any Western Gear but that's because I didn't wear it around the city at all. This is me and my friend Emma on the top of Piazza Michaelangelo with the most stunning view of Florence. Emma and I only knew each other a little bit before going to Italy together and now we have become closer than ever.
