I went gorilla trekking in northern Rwanda and saw silverback gorillas. The hike was challenging but exciting, and I learned about conservation efforts.
Why is it important to track deforestation? In the early 2000s, Zambia's Southern Province lost around 15% of its tree cover, and little to no forest management plans have been put in place since.
In my last week before we came back to school for the new semester, I decided to attempt a Huandao (環島, pronounced hw-ahn-d-ow), which means to travel around the entire coastline of Taiwan.
In Lisbon, I experienced Portuguese life through a simple home-cooked pasta made by my host mom. This meal showed me how food, culture, and local ingredients come together in everyday life.
While in Sydney, I signed up for an Aboriginal-led bush tucker tour through the botanical gardens. Following the tour, I dined on traditional Aboriginal food at the Sydney Opera House.
