Mimosa Tree!

In this field note I am going to share with you all of the information I learned about the mimosa tree!

Water bound? Take a boat!

What do Camarones and Leticia in Colombia, Iquitos and Puno in Peru, and Mompiche in Ecuador all have in common? They are all places where boats or canoes are a main form of transportation!

Birthday Celebrations

Birthdays are always cause for celebration! I've found some birthday traditions to be unique to Korea, while others look and sound very familiar.

Tradiciones A Tope! (So Many Traditions!)

There are so many traditions that these communities hold, and I love learning about the ones in Spain. Practicing, learning, and appreciating traditions are all great ways to understand a culture. 

Yummy Foods

There are so many delicious foods to try in Brazil, from the familiar favorites (coffee) to new and exciting surprises (sugarcane juice and açai). Who knew you could learn so much from a snack?

Las Amazonas

The Amazon is the largest, longest river in the world! Hot, humid and thumping with incredible wildlife, it is often called la corazon, or the heart, of the world by the communities that live there!

Getting Around in Lavras

In Lavras, people use buses, taxis and caronas (ride-sharing) to get to school and reach destinations across Brazil.

Comida!

Food is what brings people together, and it can tell you a lot about the culture of a certain place or country. Here I will tell you about the different foods I have tried since moving to Spain. 

Seollal: Korean Lunar New Year

Food is an important part of Korean culture, and I recently celebrated the Korean Lunar New Year with my host family over a spectacular traditional feast.

Trains, Planes and Buses

Since I arrived in Korea, I've worked hard to master the art of public transportation. For most places I want to go, there's a train, plane or bus that will take me there.
