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 […]

I took a few pictures of the airport in Miami, where our connecting flight to Montevideo, Uruguay was boarding. I remember looking out the window at the airplanes and thinking how I couldn’t believe that I was going to Uruguay! I had never been outside the U.S. and was excited to travel to South America. […]

It has been nine days since returning from Scotland. I wish more than anything that I could return. Every day, I find myself reflecting on my experience and how the Scottish culture continues to make an impact on my thinking in regards to agriculture, education, and society as a whole. 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 […]
