- 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.

- 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. 🙂

- Kalimera! - Ithaca, Greece
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- A beautiful afternoon on the small waterfront of Kioni village on the island of Ithaca, Greece with one of the many resident boats. The people of Kioni are warm and welcoming, always greeting you with a "Kalimera!" and smiles. The awe-inspiring beauty in simplicity is found every where you go, and it is clear why Odysseus made his famous journey back to his island of Ithaca.

- Mushroom Rock at Balandra Beach - Mexico
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- For the faculty-led trip to La Paz, Mexico our group took a trip to Balandra beach. There it has beautiful white sandy beaches as well as the iconic "mushroom rock." The story goes that someone knocked off the top of the rock and then the government paid to cement it back on so that it wouldn't fall off again.

- Trevor, Junior, and Steve - Kenya
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- In Kochia, Kenya the main focus of my study abroad trip was to build relationships, little did I know the strongest relationships I built were with these three boys. Everyday while walking to the Secondary all girls school, they would walk with me and ask me how my day was and in return I asked them and gave them a ride or two on my shoulders. The most valuable thing I learned from them was that I did not have to seek to discover local culture. While they couldn't communicate in English, I discovered what it truly meant to be Kenyan through them: to love, to take initiative, and practice compassion.

- Washing the fundamentals - Rwanda
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- I will never take washing machines for granted again. The first time I attempted to hand wash my own clothes I was so clueless that one of the maids, with a look of surprised disapproval, walked over, pushed me aside and showed me how it was done. I watched carefully for the mysteries of the inside of washing machines had elude me for the last 24 years. Despite my first hand education, my subsequent clothes washing's left my garments nearly as dirty as before I started. How can something as fundamental as washing my own clothes be something that I had absolutely no idea how to do?
