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: Discovering sea lions! - Mexico

Description: 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.

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: "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: 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!

Title: Musica Sin Fronteras
Date: 2019
Description: This picture was taken in Buenos Aires, Argentina, outside of Club de Musica. In it is me with my groupmates and professor of the course. While attending Universidad de Palermo I took an events planning course where we learned how to plan all types of different events and even got to put on our own at the end of the semester. My groupmates and I decided to put on a music festival in a small local bar called "Musica Sin Fronteras" and the money we raised by selling tickets was donated to "Voluntarios Sin Fronteras", an organization that provides local kids with sport and art related activities as well as school supplies where needed.

Title: Koh Phi Phi Leh, Thailand
Date: 2019
Description: 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.

Title: Paragliding - Santa Felix, Colombia
Date: 2014
Description: Two weeks into my international internship, I had the opportunity to visit a small mountain village known as Santa Felix and tried paragliding for the first time. In a way, I liken paragliding to the study/intern abroad experience as a whole. The prospect of doing it is intimidating, perhaps even a little frightening. Yet once you take the plunge, you’ll find yourself floating blissfully through the sky, having the time of your life, and seeing the world from a perspective that you never would have been able to if you hadn't taken a chance.

Title: A Viking in the Cloud Forest - Monteverde, Costa Rica
Date: 2019
Description: While on a small weekend trip, I had the chance to visit the Cloud forests of Monteverde. This is a really special place because there are not many cloud forests left in the world today. I am grateful that I got the chance to see this one, especially from the hanging bridges above the canopy. I am proud as a Viking to support the environment, even in other countries.

Title: Fjordkajakk - Hardangerfjord, Norway
Date: 2019-05-16
Description: My kayak felt so small compared to the Hardangerfjord. With a guide and one friend, we spent a day kayaking one of the furthest inlets of the majestic landscape. When we were making the three-kilometer crossing of the fjord to return to Eidfjord in the evening, the water got completely still and reflected the sharp landscape like a mirror. Of all the incredible things that I did in my year abroad, I don't know if any of them top this quietly epic moment.
