Finstierra-the end of the world - For the past week the group has been in Northern Spain. We have been to the Northern most point (Finstierra-the end of the world) to Salamanca and back to Seville. Although the trip was a blast I can’t help but feeling like this trip to the north was a religious pilgrimage, a pilgrimage that I […]
Home sweet home - I can’t believe that it’s already March! In just two weeks, for spring  break, I’ll be heading to Italy to explore Rome, gorge myself on pasta, and find myself completely lost. I’m excited to go explore some more but I’m also looking forward to missing Seville. I know that sounds completely insane, but in my […]
Exploring Southern Spain - I-along with my peers-went on a four day trip exploring the costal part of Spain. The trip itself was a blast with visits to the beautiful Alhambra, a royal city (palaces included) located in Granada, a jaunt to the Balcony of Europe and to a beautiful coastal city where we watched the sun set over the […]
Fitting the Mold - It has been an interesting couple of weeks in Seville, I can’t believe how quickly my time here has gone by. It seems like only a couple of days ago I was getting lost in the maze of streets on my way to school. Amidst the regular routine of school, homework and eating 50 cent […]
Made it! - After an incredibly long airplane journey that started in Wyoming and ended in Madrid plus a short train ride, I have finally made it to Seville! At the moment most of us are just beginning to settle in with our host families. My host mom and dad are both originally from Seville and have three elementary […]

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 […]
