Wow, that flew by. Though looking back on just how many memories I have just of these 18 days makes me feel like I was there for months. What a beautiful country to visit and an amazing group of friends to share it with. I can’t speak for future groups, but I truly...

As I finish up packing for my faculty-led trip to Belize, I’m taking a minute to write this post. Back in around February this year (I know, last minute planner), I saw an email for a faculty-led research opportunity in Belize. It stuck out to me because the...

The perfect way to start the day is on the beach and that is exactly what we did this morning. We all walked to the beach and got towels from a vendor on the beach. We got some drinks from the beach bar then laid out and enjoyed the water and beautiful weather. After...

First Impressions of Belize……..My initial impression upon landing was apprehension and excitement. I was in a foreign country and knew no one. Once I arrived, I was excited to get started and get to our destination. Our first destination was Big Falls in...

My second blog post will be about two incredible excursions we have taken in the last two weeks: Lake Constance and Neuschwanstein. Both of these day trips were huge selling points for the program itself, and I was thrilled to get to see the contrasting landscapes of...
