Hi, I'm Seth, and I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer in the western highlands of Guatemala. I'm so glad to call this place home, and I'm excited to share Mayan culture, my everyday life, and more with you.
This week I'm writing about Axel Stengel, one of my classmates this year at ENS Rennes enrolled in the same program as me. You'll get another perspective from someone living and studying in France!
Viet families honor ancestors through cúng, a tradition of offering food, fruit and incense. From my Viet-American home to Việt Nam, I saw how this ritual keeps family, memory and culture alive.
This week, I go into detail about the plant called Chinese Silver Grass, or Susuki. I encountered this plant on my trip to the active volcanic area of Mt Aso.
