My experience in Scotland has made me extremely excited to see the world in the future. I’ve always wanted to travel abroad, but I never really thought it was an option for me. There was always something holding me back, such as money or being afraid to travel alone or not having time to fit…

Preparing for my first trip out of the country was very exciting yet also very nerve-racking. It was difficult for me to find a balance between packing everything I needed and not over packing. I normally over pack everywhere I go because you never know exactly what the weather will be like, or how many…

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.

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…

Well, today is the day we leave for Uruguay! I spent all night last night packing and attempting to fit all of my stuff in a carry on luggage bag. Most people said I couldn’t pack everything I needed in such a small bag, but I did! I am headed to the airport now with my family…

Today was our first day in our second town, Trienta y Tres (Day 4), and we visited the INIA experiment station cow- calf operation. I have learned a lot about beef cattle production from all of the farms, but today I felt like I learned the most about the research and changes they are trying…
