AFRICA, South Africa, Summer 2016

Until next time, Africa

August 4, 2016by usfgoingplacesLeave a Comment on Until next time, Africa

Back home in Tampa, I am able to really think about the month I spent in South Africa getting to know those beautiful elephants. I was able to learn so much about them and what it takes to care for them. Before setting out on this adventure, I planned on learning about the human-elephant conflict [...]

How do you feel about the elephants?

August 2, 2016by usfgoingplacesLeave a Comment on How do you feel about the elephants?

As my time in South Africa comes to an end, I wanted to see how my fellow volunteers felt about the topics I've discussed throughout my trip. I wanted to get the opinions of people from opposite sides of the world. For this, I spoke with my roommate from the U.K. and a student from [...]

The elephant you expect vs. the elephant you meet

July 30, 2016by usfgoingplaces1 Comment on The elephant you expect vs. the elephant you meet

My four weeks are almost up at the Knysna Elephant Park! If I had to say one thing about the elephants I grew to know and love here, it's that they all have their own unique personalities. Each elephant in the herd I worked with on a daily basis showed different personality traits based on [...]

Harry’s Herd at Plett Reserve

July 26, 2016by usfgoingplacesLeave a Comment on Harry’s Herd at Plett Reserve

This weekend, I had the opportunity to visit Harry's herd at Plett Game Reserve! We went on a game drive to see all the animals they have on the reserve, but of course we came for our boys and girls. When we drove on to the property, much to our excitement we were greeted by [...]

Welsh volunteers visit KEP, create games for elephants

July 21, 2016by usfgoingplacesLeave a Comment on Welsh volunteers visit KEP, create games for elephants

Today was a hectic but wonderful day. It started out as a normal day with field work and some data entry. At noon, we had a school volunteer group from Wales come join us for the day! It was a group of 25 kids, aged 15-18, on a two-week volunteer trip in South Africa. I [...]

  • Bye-Bye BCN: My Last Weeks and A ReflectionJuly 3, 2022
    My last two weeks in Barcelona were a whirlwind. I'm condensing the two into one post because I was simply so busy with school and my internship that there wasn't a lot of time left to explore. After my visit to the Picasso Museum and Citadel Park, my confidence peaked and I became a lot […]
  • Post-Travel Reflections on Costa RicaJuly 3, 2022
    Post-Travel Reflections on Costa Rica To say that this trip has influenced me in a positive way is an understatement. It has pulled me out of my roots of comfortability and forced me to grow in ways that I had not imagined. I had the privilege of traveling to a country that had a culture […]
  • Costa Rica Program Adventures Coming to an EndJuly 2, 2022
    June 18th, 2022 It's hard to believe that is has been two weeks and that our program is already coming to an end. I have seen and learned a tremendous amount in such a short period of time. It feels as if I had been here for longer yet it went so fast. This week, […]
  • Florence – Week 1!July 2, 2022
    I made it to Florence! It has been a very intense week here; I've seen and learned so much already! Day 1: I did not sleep a wink on the flight, so I was awake for over 24 hours and I was bone-tired. My flight was delayed by 2 hours (!!!) and I almost missed […]
  • Goodbye USA, Hola Costa Rica!July 2, 2022
    June 4th, 2022 Having studied abroad while getting my bachelors degree, I thought it would be a great idea to seek out an opportunity to travel abroad while I pursue my masters degree in science education at USF. I decided to do a google search and a summer abroad program showed up that fit everything […]
