Time is Precious - France
-
Date
-
2014
-
Description
-
This photo was taken from the top floor of the Musee D'Orsay. Looking through the back of that clock led me to think back in time, back through the years that I have lived, and I was reminded how short and precious time is. Sure, I have regrets, but time is too precious to let those past mistakes influence your future successes. So, the steady hands of this great clock, I keep moving forward - making the most of these amazing experiences that I am blessed to have.

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.

Green City - Tokyo, Japan

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.

This photo was taken at the Avenue of the Baobabs, a sacred stretch of land on the west side of the island. These trees are somewhere from 900-1000 years old. Traditional healers in the area use the bark to make a tea to strengthen bones and give energy.

Lunchtime in the Serengeti - Tanzania
-
Date
-
2014
-
Description
-
This photo was taken late afternoon on an exceptionally warm day in Serengeti National Park. A hundred meters from the road lay two large lionesses and a group of seven cubs. When the pair stood to stretch for a moment, every cub pounced on the chance for an afternoon snack. The lions stood in the middle of a large open savanah, a characteristic landscape of the Serengeti. This was the first time we had seen so many cubs in one location with so few adults nearby.

Gamcheon Culture Village - Gamcheon Village, South Korea

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.

Lujan Flota
-
Date

2018
-
Description
-
This picture was taken in Lujan, Argentina. This was the second year Lujan did the Lujan Flota event where there was music, good food and games for the whole family to enjoy. The main part of this event, however, was the many hot air balloons that people were able to see up close, some even letting people get aboard for a little bit! I am pictured here in front of a hot air balloon that has "Lujan" written on it, everything here is named after the Lady of Lujan (the patron saint of Argentina), including me!
