The climate and location of the Galápagos Islands provides the perfect environment that led to the development of the Island’s vast and unique plant and animal life.

    I’m amazed by how much we’ve been able to see so far. On Saturday and Sunday, we explored Montevideo and got to see the beautiful sights and landmarks. Even when we are driving between locations, I can’t stop staring out the window at all the different buildings and landscapes. On Monday, we got to see…

    Today has been eventful! I finally made it to the airport. This is my very first time flying so checking in and getting to where I needed to be has been quite the experience. It’s been a very hectic past couple weeks. Between midterms and homework, I feel like I’ve been going like crazy. Although…

    I was born with a need to meet new people and see new places in my heart. It has become my norm to feel restless. This restlessness can only be quelled by adventure. Sometimes I can stick a bandage on it by dreaming of my next adventure, but nothing works as well as seeing new…

    Preparing for my trip to Uruguay has been one of the most exciting, anxiety-inducing things I’ve ever had to do.

    This is my first time traveling by plane AND first time traveling out of the country, so naturally, I am a little nervous. Questions started rolling through my head… how do I pack this? what all do I need? what if I run out of clean socks? BUT guess what? All those questions get answered…
