Espirito Santo- Grace Detwiler

Don’t worry; I’m not going to try and preach because honestly, I wouldn’t be too good at it. However, I got to experience someone who was extremely successful at communicating the glory of our God to me even though I could only decipher bits and pieces of his sermon in Read more…

Finding My Inner Brazilian – Lauren Eggleton

For those who do not know me too well, you probably are not aware that I love dancing. I haven’t danced much in my life, and I’ve never had any lessons or even attended a school dance that requires dancing with a partner. I like to think that I’ve been Read more…

You’ll Teach Me, and I’ll Teach You – Maggie Gaylord

Before I knew what our schedule for Brazil looked like, when friends and family asked me what I was going to do here, I answered in one word: learn. I knew this trip was going to be educational months before I stepped on the plane; however, I now know that Read more…

Experiencing Culture – Camryn Domina

After experiencing a week in Brazil, I have already fallen in love with Brazilian culture and the people that I have met here. Though it is different in many respects from what I am used to in the United States, it is so easy to feel at home here. For Read more…

Feel Free – Anna Ahlquist

Ever since the first day I arrived at my new home in Brazil, my host mother Regina has told me to “feel free.” I would say this is the one phrase that she continues to use the most around us. The first few times I heard Regina tell me to Read more…

The Way We Walk- Tiffany Adames

What is the forest? This question was presented to us today by Professor Waverli Neuberger while exploring the Atlantic Rainforest here in Sao Paulo. Before today, I thought of the forest as a place where you can find wild animals, where witches dwell, and where Snow White lived before her Read more…

Cultural Roots – Ben Deacon

When we arrived in Brazil almost a week ago, I was surprised by my host family with the opportunity to see Sepultura, a Brazilian metal band that I am a huge fan of. All I knew when I heard about this opportunity was how excited I was to see this Read more…

Singing in the Rain – Grace Turner

Okay Mom, you were right. I should have packed an umbrella. Although Brazil is commonly associated with a warm and sunny climate, I have come to realize how unrealistic it is to anticipate this type of weather everyday. This became especially evident while attending Virada Cultural, an enormous music festival Read more…

Let’s Talk! -Lourdes Sharp

Before coming to Brazil, people would ask me what I was looking forward to the most- what I wanted to take away from the trip. My answer was a loose anticipation of what I hoped for, seeing as I couldn’t and still cannot tell the future. It went something like Read more…

Lost in Translation – Brittany Szarowicz

Coming into this trip, I was pretty confident with my ability to speak Portuguese. After all, I knew how to say please, thank you, and hello. What could possibly go wrong? I suppose I forgot that real people speak faster than the voices on Babbel and hand gestures aren’t as Read more…
