Hi Ms. Caputo's class! Before we dive into Japan and Japanese culture, I want to start by introducing myself, my diverse upbringing in Mexico and the U.S., and how I got to study abroad in Japan.
As an environmental engineer, I study water pollution through scientific analysis and design cutting-edge technology that can provide a basic human need to the people who need it.
I'm surrounded by nature in Iquitos, but there's one animal in particular that I have been spending a lot of time with over the past couple of months: the Amazon manatee!
Come learn a little bit more about the history and culture of the city that has become my new “home” this year: Iquitos, Peru. Home to 500,000 people, this city thrives in the jungle!
Join scientists aboard the JOIDES Resolution as they collect underwater rock and sediment cores inside the caldera of Santorini, Greece--the site of one of the world's largest-ever volcanic eruptions!
Hit the high seas with Royal Navy Submariners as they race to row the 3,000 miles from the coast of Africa (the Canary Islands) to the Caribbean (Antigua), demonstrating resilience through adversity.
Living in the Amazon is a once in a lifetime experience that I hope to remember forever. From taking care of manatees to visiting Incan ruins, every week is a new adventure!
Hola, explorers! Or maybe I should say, nos vemos pronto. See you again soon! At this end of this journey together, let me leave you with a little inspiration.
