Sincretismo: la idea confusa - Desde la primera vez que oye la palabra “sincretismo,” me he sentido un poco confundida. Para mi, el tema de sincretismo ha sido confuso porque antes de esta clase, no he oído la palabra. Aun después de hacer investigaciones, todavía no creo que entiendo la idea como debo para estar segura sobre el tema. Lo […]
La Idea de la Familia - De niña, siempre he sido una persona muy independiente. Porque de eso, no pienso que quiero casarme o tener hijos. Es difícil para imaginar comprometerme con alguien. Desde estar en Cuenca, me he dado cuenta que la gente empieza buscar una pareja de vida a una edad muy joven. Las padres tradicionales esperaran que sus […]
El Choque Cultural - Antes de viajar a Cuenca para este semestre, mucha gente me aconsejó que debo pensar en una cosa se llama choque cultural. A ese tiempo, no sabía mucho de este tema. Sin embargo, después de hablar con amigos quien han estudiado en un país diferente, aprendí que choque cultural es. Estaba pensando que fue una […]
El Primer Fin de Semana (The First Weekend) - This weekend was the first spent in Cuenca with mi familia.  On Saturday, my host mom unfortunately had to work, so I spent the day with mi hermano (brother), two cousins, and a family friend, instead.  After enjoying a late lunch of traditional Ecuadorian seafood, we spent the majority of the afternoon simply relaxing, laughing, […]
Personal Reflection - When I was first searching for an overseas program, Ecuador was not the first location to stand out to me on the list.  Yes, I wanted to speak spanish, but I did not necessarily think I would want to go to South America.  I had romanticized a fulfilling semester studying in the beautiful Spain or […]

Diving Deeper into Coral Reef Ecology at Lady Elliot Island

Diving Deeper into Coral Reef Ecology at Lady Elliot Island

Another day in paradise. Today marked our third day on Lady Elliot Island, and it’s easy to see that we’re all getting used to this. Waking up early isn’t a challenge with the bright sun and the cacophony of seabirds, but for once no one is upset, as our first activity is a quick snorkel […]

Journey to the top of Queensland – 5/4/18

Journey to the top of Queensland – 5/4/18

Today marked our last day at Carnarvon, with our next stop to be the Great Barrier Reef. Although we’ve stayed at Carnarvon Gorge longer than expected due to the cyclone off the eastern coast, it allowed us to explore even more of the beautiful park. We were woken again by the sounds of Laughing Kookaburras, […]

Great Times at Great Kepple

Great Times at Great Kepple

April 7, 2018 Our first full day on Great Kepple Island! We spent the morning in lecture learning about coral, coral reefs (there’s a difference!), conservation and the general weather trends that can dictate the biogeography of the ocean. While some had come into this program with invertebrate knowledge from classes at Lewis and Clark, […]

Planes, trains, automobiles and the amazing reef!

Planes, trains, automobiles and the amazing reef!

On April 10th I woke up to the sound of the train wheels clacking. It was 5:30 in the morning. I was so tired but also so thrilled to be traveling to a new destination. Soon after we woke from the comfy and unique accommodation of the train, we all gathered our belongings and hopped […]

Under the Milky Way Tonight

Under the Milky Way Tonight

  On April 3, 2018 we stayed at the Takarakka bush resort in Carnarvon Gorge. One of the many highlights of Carnarvon George is the sky. Specifically, the entire Milky Way. Which, as our tutor brought up, used to be a sight that everyone could see. It is because of our cities light pollution that […]
