Title: Green City - Tokyo, Japan
Date: 2019
Description: The Imperial Palace Garden in the middle of Tokyo. It really struck me how in such a huge, dense urban city as Tokyo could have these pockets of nature. It was really quiet and peaceful in the park, but you could still look up and see tall buildings in any direction. I really admired the respect for nature and allowing room for these green spaces.

Title: Phang Nga - Thailand
Date: 2019
Description: This is Yai Jem, a Thai grandma who inspired me in many ways. Despite losing much of her and her husbands belongings in a tsunami in 2004, she was constantly making sure I was fed, OK, happy, whatever I needed she made sure I had three. I felt the love she had to share with those around her, she did this for everyone, she made sure everyone had their food before she helped herself.

Title: That Aha Moment - Greece
Date: 2019
Description: During our trip to Greece we stopped at this bridge just for fun. The bridge was a piece of history from the ottoman period. Bridges like these and many more exist in Greece as sites any passerby can look at and enjoy. It was incredible to be able to stop by and visit these rich and beautiful landmarks with my study abroad group, taking it all in.

Title: Amazonian False Scorpion - Ecuador
Date: 2019
Description: Our guide in the Amazon, Rolando, saw this false scorpion (actually a spider) on the ground and picked it up for us. In the picture, it's sitting on my elbow, while Jeremy looks a little bothered in the background. The Amazon was one of the most incredible things I've ever experienced. It's so beautiful, and feels so peaceful. My time in Ecuador, and especially my time in the Amazon, made me realize how much I want to travel more, and try everything I can (like holding the false scorpion, or eating live beetle larvae at the local village). The trip inspired me to pursue a career abroad, particularly in developing countries like Ecuador.
