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: On the Edge, Galway, Ireland
Date: 2019
Description: This is when I was sitting on the edge of Cliffs of Moher looking at the Atlantic Ocean and the Cliffs in front of me. The Cliffs of Moher had been on my bucket list for years and I got to fulfill my wish. It had been a long 4 hour bus ride to get to the Cliffs and we had only a limited amount of time to explore their beauty. But this specific moment, where I was sitting on the edge listening to the wind flow through the grass and the waves hit the rocks, made the early morning and the long drive worth it. Although a famous natural landmark, in this moment it felt personal, as if I was part of the cliffs for that split second. I could feel the grass under my hands, I felt the wind through my jacket and somehow I felt so free yet so insignificant at the same time. This moment is one I will cherish from my travels during study abroad, it was a moment of pure and utter peace.

Title: In the Land of Giants - Norway
Date: 2014
Description: The barren, rocky landscape of Jotunheimen (English: The Home of the Giants) is a stark contrast to Norway's many lush forests; a contrast intensified when you fall asleep on the bus, surrounded by tree-covered hills, and wake up to see only grass, rocks, shrubs, and rugged mountains, rising out of the earth like waking giants. It was like waking up on an entirely different world. As a part of the excursion, we hiked to the top of one of those mountains — Bitihorn. It is from there, exhausted and sore from the rough 2000 ft. ascent, that I captured this picture. Even though I was surrounded by many of my fellow international students, the extensive Norwegian landscape and immense sky made me feel incredibly small and insignificant until I realized that, as a member of the international community, I can break down mountains — mountains that still separate many countries of the world — through friendship, peace, and an open-mind.

Title: Mushroom Rock at Balandra Beach - Mexico
Date: 2014
Description: For the faculty-led trip to La Paz, Mexico our group took a trip to Balandra beach. There it has beautiful white sandy beaches as well as the iconic "mushroom rock." The story goes that someone knocked off the top of the rock and then the government paid to cement it back on so that it wouldn't fall off again.

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: The Edge of Catastrophe - Poas Volcano, Costa Rica
Date: 2019-09-14
Description: Poas Volcano is one of Costa Rica's most active volcanoes. I have always been fascinated by the ecosystems surrounding volcanoes, so shortly into the semester I took the opportunity to visit. Poas had been closed for a couple of years due to volcanic activity. The national park was opened for about two months before it erupted once more, a week after I had visited. Seeing an active volcano made me realize the fragility and dependence of life on the environment.

Title: The Waterfall at the End of a Tough Hike
Date: 2019
Description: This moment was captured by a friend as I took the time after a emotionally and physically grueling hike. There is nothing better than taking a deep breath in front of roaring waters. Feeling the mist from the water on my face and staring in awe at the scenery was worth every second of the hike.

Title: It's Rude to Stare!
Date: 2019
Description: Being able to see the famous endemic species of the Galapagos in person was a privilege. Part of the privilege is respecting the wildlife in its environment. When this blue-footed booby glared at me, I knew my photography time was done.

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: 7 Rila Lakes Field Trip
Date: 2019
Description: This is a photo of the 7 Rila Lakes. We took a field trip there as part of my Intro to Bulgarian course and spent an entire day marveling at the natural beauty of Bulgaria. I managed to reach all seven lakes during the hike, and after stopping for lunch, my Bulgarian teacher had us sing some Bulgarian folk songs she'd brought. None of us were native speakers and we probably didn't do the songs justice, but other hikers stopped to listen and it was a beautiful song in the spirit of the lakes.

Title: Greece
Description: Before I went to Greece I didn't know anything about the sheer amounts of cats that roam the streets. Everywhere we went, especially in cities, cats would be all around. Even up in monasteries and historic sites we visited, cats would be there. This cat, was right outside the old Greek theater at the Oracle of Apollo.
