Here are a few of the last photos I took while we were in Punta Del Este, Uruguay. It was our last stop on the trip, and I have to admit I was kind of sad to be heading back to Montevideo to board our departing flight. During my time in Uruguay, I had seen…

While I love America and the…

A quick recap of Scotland in photos! I can’t believe this experience has already come and gone. This week felt like a minute and a month all at the same time. We were able to plant 500 trees at Troqueer Primary School, home to some of the most precious children I have ever met. I…
