Title: Classic
Date: 2019-10-15
Description: The most iconic part of Havana is the classic cars that line the streets in front of the capitol building. This building may look familiar- it was designed after the U.S. Capitol building in Washington D.C. Havana looks frozen in time with these two iconic features.

Title: 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.

Title: Taipei 101
Date: 2014
Description: This shot of Taipei 101. I had been to the top of the tower earlier and to my luck visibility was great. When I descended, the fog started to roll in. Going to Taiwan was my first real time traveling totally by myself and I knew virtually nothing about the country before arriving. This picture was taken after travelling to the very last subway stop with some locals to hike up Elephant Mountain, which provides a killer view of the city. Taipei 101 really dominates the skyline of the city, and that can be seen in this photograph where the top is not even visible due to how high it reaches.

Title: Plaza Mayor at Night - Salamanca, Spain
Date: 2014
Description: This was taken in Salamanca, Spain, where we did our studying. This is in the plaza mayor at night, when all the lights were turned on. This was single-handedly the most important place in our trip because this was the place where you met up with people if you had to go somewhere, where you went to hang out if it was too hot in the dorms, where you went to grab a quick tapa and vino after or before dinner, and also, when the world cup was going on, they brought out TVs so the whole community could watch the world cup together. This is Salamanca.

Title: Hike along Seoul City Wall
Date: 2019
Description: Inwangsan, a mountain area where you can hike alongside a portion of the 18.6 km long wall that was built to protect the city from invaders back in 1396. At the top, you can get a glimpse of the incredible views of the entire city and it's absolutely amazing. As hiking culture in Korea is very prominent, locals as well as tourists, can always appreciate the incredible landscape and scenery of such a historically and culturally rich city.

Title: Through the Arch
Date: 2019-07-16
Description: This photo was taken at Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, on the island of St. Kitts. We spent hours taking in the breath taking sights and absorbing the rich and raw history of how this fort came to be and the power and culture it still holds today. On the boat we were taught the history written and portrayed through words, but being on the grounds and exploring the incredible buildings was a lesson all on its own. Words do not compare to emotions you feel when you find yourself engulfed in the modern day historical sites.

Title: Gamcheon Culture Village - Gamcheon Village, South Korea
Date: 2019-11-03
Description: After taking a small bus through the steep and narrow streets, the views of Gamcheon village are incredible as there are so many small locally owned businesses everywhere. What I found most impactful was the views at night because by nightfall nearly all of the crowds disappear; I thought it was even more beautiful at night with small street lights dimly lighting the now sleepy town overlooking the water.

Title: Preservation of a Culture
Date: 2019-10-18
Description: This photo was taken in Zaouiat Ahansal, a remote mountain village in the Haut Atlas of Morocco when I was there studying development. This village has historical importance as an Islamic religious site but had fallen into disrepair during the French Colonialization. Rather than leave it to crumble, though, many people dedicated to seeing this cultural site preserved have worked to restore the Zaouiat to its original condition, encouraging the village to preserve its lifestyle. This photo captures the mosque and some of the unique mountain architecture of this village and reminds me of the importance of not allowing the diverse cultural traditions to be lost under westernized development.

Title: Ascension Cathedral
Date: 2019
Description: I love this photo for so many reasons. The way the cathedral looked in the sunlight, the fact that it was such a cloudless day in Veliko Tarnovo, and the fact that the jet streams in the sky in the background remind me of shooting stars. I couldn't be more grateful to be in such an incredible country like Bulgaria!

Title: This is What Dreams are Made of
Date: 2019
Description: Of course it's been one of my dreams to go to where Lizzie McGuire performed in her movie. Although I didn't go inside (do you really think I could afford a $30 hiking tour?), it was amazing to be in its presence and to see all of the history in Rome.

Title: Mini-Monks at the Tawang Monastery - India
Date: 2014
Description: These young monks were playing on a cell phone on a rooftop just outside of the gompa at the Tawang Monastery. Due to its remote location and restricted access for foreigners, the Mon region of Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh, India is one of the last areas in which Tibetan culture remains mostly intact. With the recent construction of a road leading to the nearby border with Bhutan, the region is no longer as isolated and is increasingly open to outside influence. This photo offers an interesting juxtaposition of traditional culture with the products of such globalization.
