Title: 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.

Title: Pico - Ponta do Pico, Portugal
Date: 2019
Description: Climbing Pico, Portugal's highest peak at over 7,700 feet, wasn't easy. What was easy was appreciating the boundless views provided from the summit. The azure waters of the Atlantic surrounded me, and I knew there would just never quite be another view like this.

Title: 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.

Title: "With An Open Heart" - Leeward Islands
Date: 2019-07-16
Description: Throughout my experience sailing between the Leeward Islands, I was taken back by not only the density of history we learned aboard, but the intensity of energy on each island that rang true of how powerful the history is and how present it stayed on each island. Islands were in obvious distraught due to recent hurricanes and local lack of funds to recover, but this never shook the smiles on the local communities faces. We were given the chance to hike through volcanoes and work on the farms of local islands and each second spent among these beautiful souls I felt a shift in my own angle on life and the will to pursue my own passions despite all conflicts. The stories and day to day lifelines of each community on their own islands, taught me so much about stepping my foot into the world outside of my own. Too often we are caught in our own bubbles and forget the pleasure of popping that comfort zone and branching out, to whatever degree you can.

Title: Gentiana Kurroo
Date: 2019-10-02
Description: There was an abundance of wildflowers in the Himalayas, but this was one of my favorites. In a country surrounded by jaw-dropping landscapes, sometimes it's the little things that can take your breath away. These wildflowers grew everywhere so taking a picture of one at the top of the hill at one of our earlier campsites felt like a no-brainer and I loved how it turned out.

Title: Beauty of Austria and Friendship
Date: 2019
Description: This photo was taken on top of Schöckl Mountain located in Graz, Austria. It's the local mountain here in Graz. It is special to me because it was a hard hike to get to the top. My friends and I bonded over that experience. It showcases the beauty of Austria and the beauty of friendship.

Title: Insignificance - Interlaken, Switzerland
Date: 2019
Description: This photo was taken on a hike through the mountains in Lauterbrunnen. The feeling of insignificance is a very humbling experience and this was one of those moments. When I went to Switzerland I had only been abroad a month and around this time I was going through the normal waves of culture shock where I was starting to miss home. Switzerland was a place that gave me a refresh of home, the smell of fresh air and rain, being surrounded by mountains and complete beauty grounded me. It helped me feel connected to home even though I was far from it. Switzerland holds a special place in my heart because it came when I needed it most. This photo was taken in a moment where I knew I would come back to Switzerland someday. It's unfathomable how mountains and nature that beautiful exist. Although I may have seemed insignificant to the towering mountains, the mountains will always be significant to me.

Title: Italian Dolomites - Italy
Date: 2014
Description: This photo was taken during a weekend trip to northern Italy in well known Dolomite Mountains. This trip was significant to me because I made it completely alone, I traveled on local buses and trains, and I got by as much as I could communicating in the Italian language. Once I was on the ascent to Schlernhaus mountain refuge on Mt. Shlern (formerly part of Austria) I was overcome by complete serenity. I stayed the night and hung out with some locals drinking Amaro Montenegro, and woke up early and snapped this photo about 2 miles away from the refuge.

Title: Hii ni mlima wangu (this is my mountain) - Tanzania
Date: 2014
Description: This is a picture of me at the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro. I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to climb with eight of my fellow volunteers with an exceptional expedition company. During the hike I constantly questioned whether or not I would be able to summit. The phrase I used for the title of this photo is one that my fellow volunteers and I learned while hiking that had a lot of significance when we all reached the top. Accomplishing this feat is something that I know I will be able to carry with me for the rest of my life, and can use as reassurance that I can do whatever I set my mind to, as long as my priorities are straight.

Title: The Road Goes Ever On
Date: 2019-10-04
Description: Our classrooms were a bit different from most. Each day was spent hiking anywhere between 6-12 miles and our learning took place outside of a traditional classroom setting. It was fascinating to get to see and experience the cultural, physical and biological processes that we were learning about.
