Title: Las Salinas Grandes, Argentina
Date: 2019
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!

Title: My Ah-Hah! Moment - Salinas Grandes, Argentina
Date: 2019
Description: This photo represents my Ah-Hah! Moment because it accurately shows my experience of jumping from my life in Bellingham to Argentinian culture. Fully jumping into a new culture has made me experience a transformation of myself like no other. I have gained a sense of independence, broadened my world view, and realized that I am capable of more than I thought before going abroad.

Title: The Miracle of Water - Tanzania
Date: 2014
Description: An hour outside camp, our Land Rover sprung a flat tire. We had rolled to a stop mere meters from two young boys standing at the side of the road asking for handouts. A fellow student in our vehicle stepped outside, filled a bottle with water from our supply, and handed it to the older child. The older boy graciously handed it down to the younger, who could not contain his thirst. It is amazing that a simple thing like clean water is such a spectacular thing to many people in this part of the world. Meanwhile, we take it for granted every day. We can find it everywhere, while these young children depend on the generosity of complete strangers to drink healthy water every once in a while.

Title: Cocos en la playa!
Date: 2019-07-05
Description: This is a photo of me discovering coconuts on the beach of Playa Uvita. The landmark I was visiting is known as the Uvita Whale Tail because it is a natural outcrop that you can see from space at low tide and it resembles the tail of a whale. It was an amazing time standing in the middle of the whale tail. Waves wash onto the shore from both sides and then when the tide gets high enough, the waves crash into each other and eventually engulf the landmark. It is one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Costa Rica, if not the entire world. Our program we were studying was Global Entrepreneurship and innovation in the social sector. Our final week was an independent study week and I chose to study the unique market of hostels in Costa Rica, in particular, the Flutterby house located in Uvita ten minutes from where I took this photo. It is a hot spot for tourists to see the landmark and they often stay at the Flutterby house for its nice amenities, cheap surfboard rentals and prime location near some of the best surf on most beautiful beach in the world.
