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.

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.

Pico - Ponta do Pico, Portugal
-
Date

-
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.

Las Salinas Grandes, Argentina
-
Date
-

-
Description
-
This photo was taken in Las Salinas Grandes in northern Argentina. I had the opportunity to travel with a group of international students, including the friends I made at my university (Universidad de Palermo), to this amazing place. Las Salinas Grandes is the perfect place to take pictures based on the illusion of perspective. It is also located 3,450 meters above sea level and do not be fooled by the short sleeves, it was 50 degrees outside!

"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.

Princess for the Day at Gyeongbukgung Palace
-
Date
-

-
Description
-
Gyeongbukgung Palace is centered in the heart of the city where visitors can take in the beautiful architecture and scenery of the palace grounds while also being dressed in traditional Korean style hanboks. Being able to walk around such a historic site in such beautiful clothes was such an incredible experience and truly felt like we were experiencing a moment in time of life in the Joseon dynasty.

Last Sunrise over the City
-
Date
-
2019-11-04
-
Description
-
This was taken on the morning before I left to come back to the United States. The sunrise over the vast city nestled in the valley of the Himalayas was an image I'll never forget, so I wanted to carry proof that I was there. I didn't take a lot of selfie's on this trip (spending 30 days in a tent without running water will make the prospect less exciting) but here was a place I knew I would return to.

They say experience is the best teacher. That's why I let our guide put a spider, one of many Amazonian species we were learning about on a night walk, on me. They can't say I wasn't trying to learn!

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!

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.

This was taken one day when our host mom took us out in the water to gather sea urchins for dinner. I really enjoy this photo especially since I was in a hurry to take it as my camera had no life to it. When I went back to look at the photo, I was very happy to see this moment frozen in time. It reminds me of warm sea air, the perfect breeze, and a happy and full heart.

This happened on a hike in the National Park. Apparently lemurs aren't afraid of humans when bananas are involved.
