Where There Be DragonsExplorer
Feb. 2019 - May. 2019South America I took part in an immersive expedition with eleven peers and two instructors through Peru and Bolivia. The program consisted of intense trekking in the Andes and Amazon where we lived with numerous host families that spoke a variety of dialects. During my time in Urubamba, Peru, I completed an Independent Study Project, volunteering daily at a local agricultural farm. With constant dynamic travel, I was able to develop crucial team bonding and Spanish fluency skills that proved critical, for instance, when setting up camp in the harsh Andean climate or conversing with locals.
