Snorkeling Alongside Sea Turtles

Sea turtle swimming in the ocean.

Studying abroad in the Galapagos Islands was nothing short of life-changing. I didn’t just learn about sustainability, conservation, and public policy in theory, I lived it. Every day, I hiked through volcanic highlands, snorkeled alongside hammerhead sharks and sea turtles, and collaborated with local communities on real-world environmental projects.

Finding Community in Oviedo

Hi y'all,

My time here in Oviedo has been absolutely wonderful. It's a city that both gets bigger every day and yet if feels intimate and small. I could stay in Asturias another month, truly. The food, especially fabada (a traditional Asturian stew), is incredibly good, and I'm just so happy here. I've been inspired to write more, not just because of the program, but because of the sheer interest that this city provokes from me.

Week One in Singapore

Logan and three friends stand with an alley, Haji Lane, behind them

Hi everyone! My name is Logan Adams, and I’m Taiwanese, Chinese, Japanese, and American. My mom is half Taiwanese and half Chinese, and my dad is half Japanese and half American. Having a mix of identities like this makes me especially excited to be in Singapore for the summer - there’s probably no better place for someone with a diverse background to feel connected to so many different cultures at once.
