Obrigada – Amy Kovach

Obrigada! Thank you sometimes doesn’t seem like enough.

The Right Attitude – Alexandra Osborne

In general, I have always felt a little under-prepared no matter the circumstances. When we visited the Brazilian side of Iguazu falls, I was totally unprepared, and that was no one’s fault but my own. I was told that we were going to get soaked despite any attempt to stay Read more…

Head in the Clouds – Brittany Szarowicz

When I was very young (maybe five years old?), I rode in my first plane. I don’t think I looked away from the window for the entire flight. All these years later, nothing has changed. I still can’t get over how beautiful the clouds and the mountaintops can be when Read more…

Child-like Wonder – Bailey LaTourette

Today, as one final hurrah abroad, we hiked the Argentinian side of Iguazu Falls. It definitely lived up to its legacy of being one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World. Besides the breathtaking views, the falls attract a multitude of people to add to the beauty. As my Read more…

What Do I Want? – Sylvia Leary

The last few days of my journey have not gone as expected. But looking back, I can see how my choices have made all the difference. I woke up on Tuesday, planning to meet with my group and then present on our experiences in the Atlantic Forest. Instead, as soon Read more…

Reminiscência — Gordon La

It was a brief yet intense feeling that awashed me as I alone trod through the crashing waves along the coast of Sao Paulo. The air was fresh and sweet, and it blanketed the mountains and islands till both faded into the horizon. Underneath the morning skies, everything around me Read more…

As Pessoas – Tyler Lipina

“Asgard is not a place. It’s a people.” Odin, Thor: Ragnarok (2017) Brazil was truly one of the most beautiful places that I have visited in my life. However, the wonders of nature and the abundance of choices of fruit juices on their own do not make the experience. I found that the Read more…

Someone worth Missing -Kathryn Krchniak
