Hey everyone, we've decided to express everything we've done so far through song.
(the first verse of Party in the USA)
we hopped on a plane from LAX
with strangers we haven't met
said goodbye to all of our loved ones
we'll see you in the end.
jumped in our seats, soared over the pacific
looked at the date, February 12th is missing
this is all so crazy
we're in… Read More
It's been two days in this bustling city. The mosquitoes are biting, the birds are chirping, the blenders are blending smoothies. It's a good time. We've been spending a lot of time talking and living with the locals. Some of the more outgoing members of our group have been known to get caught up in interesting conversations with complete strangers. It's surprising how much a bitter old man can teach… Read More
It's Iris here–I'm still alive. We're doing to scavenger hunt now in Chiang Mai and Hannah and I are totally gonna win. This is my first computer since Hong Kong and its all in Thai so I'm completely dumbfounded as to how to navigate anything. So far we've paraded around the city trying not to get hit by passing cars or motor bikes. The food has been AMAZING and nowhere… Read More
We are having a blast in Thailand!! So far we have been getting to know everyone and finding our way in the hectic city of Chiang Mai, trying not to get hit by the countless motorcycles! We have been looking at some of the temples here and learning about how to be respectful of Thai tradition and culture. Today we are doing a scavenger hunt around Chiang Mai, so far… Read More
Dear people in the outside world,
This is Eve and Cameron. Hmmm…. How do we even explain this? The craziness of Delhi is something you need to see to believe. We can't quite explain the staring, the smell of hot masala tea, and all the kids saying hello while possibly trying to lift our pockets. Those cute little scoundrels! We're still getting our footing, but we took a really cool… Read More
Today is my third day in Thailand. We have been in the city of Chiang Mai the whole time, and it has been so fun! We have gone to food and clothing markets, visited a bunch of temples, and eaten the most amazing food and fresh fruit smoothies. Today we did a partner scavenger hunt throughout the city. We got to talk to monks, get massages, search for a post… Read More
What's up guys, Emily S here checking in from Chiang Mai, Thailand. I'm having a blast already! We've been here for almost 3 days now and it's so beautiful and amazing. Getting here took forever, but honestly it was so worth it. We've already had the chance to do so many cool things like ride in these backless vans and go to all these cool night markets. We've visited Buddhist… Read More
Hello, today was such an interesting day! walking around Chiang Mai visiting temples has been awesome. Getting to meet monks was possibly the most exciting thing today. They shared their everyday life with us and suggested we visit Doi suthep temple, which I really hope we have time to do later in the trip. We will be leaving Chiang Mai pretty soon to live with our host families (and learn… Read More
Sawatdee friends!
We have been in Chiang Mai for just 3 days and already have learned so much! Everything here is so beautiful, and refreshing and upbeat- it's like a whole new world. We have been staying at a cozy lil' guest house while familiarizing ourselves with the exciting new territory. We have been starting our day at 9 am and after adventuring all day, by 8 pm, everyone is… Read More
Namaste from Delhi!
Power duo Miranda and Lily write to you after a long day of scavenger hunting around the city…with bellies very full. Turns out that asking for just a chai translates to bringing us two full plates of food (which is just fine by us). Our adventures today have given us a small taste of the journey we have ahead; friendly people, bright colors, and all sorts of… Read More
Hello! It's Cat, Madeline and Monica here. After some very tiresome flight travel, we were driven to our hostel in unmarked taxis. We've encountered and shared rooms with many people from all over the world at the hostel already.
We went to these botanical gardens, and found a jungle instead! All the trees look so different. So many monkeys were there, and a few kind stray dogs. We had a… Read More
After 2 days of traveling, we finally made it to our hostel in Entebbe, Uganda! We have spent the past few days getting to know one another, doing orientation, and exploring this awesome place.
The town here is filled with a lot of curious locals, cute monkeys, and super red dirt! Our first day here we spent getting accommodated to using steripens, drinking warm water, and sweating yourself to sleep… Read More
Hi from Entebbe!
We made it, y'all! We've had such an amazing few days getting to know each other. Feelin like a fam already. Uganda is incredibly beautiful, though we have yet to see much while we've been at our hostel for orientation. We did go to the Botanical Gardens and saw monkey mamas and babies! The attached photo is the group with our official rhino sorority signs. We are… Read More
We have been exploring Quito all day, and we like what we´ve been seeing so far! We trekked up the Basilica del Voto Nacional, which has over 200 steps to the top. From the top, we could see all of Quito and even el Panecillo! We had the chance to try an empanada at one of the cafes and the jury is still out. The weather is absolutely beautiful, and… Read More
Today me and Caroline got to explore the town on our own. We did a scavenger hunt. We went to a church, had lunch and will soon go chill at a park. Everything here is so different than back at home. I have noticed things such as what is served with just about every meal like, eggs, fruit, rice or tomatos. The food here is amazing. So much I wish… Read More
Hi everyone!
Sunteaohna and I have been exploring Quito today on our scavenger hunt. Its a really amazing city and weve had a lot of fun navigating around. We checked out the Basilica, a really old and beautiful church overlooking most of the city and successfully used our Spanish skills to order food and buys some things in various stores. I wish I could post a photo, but I dont… Read More
Jake and I are currently exploring Quito with our scavenger list in hand! So far, our favorite thing we have seen has been the Basilica del Voto Nacional. It was so beautiful, both inside and out. We took a photo in front of it, which we sadly cannot upload because we don't have a cord 🙁 We are looking forward to stumbling our way through the rest of Quito and,… Read More
Salutations from somewhere between Singapore and Delhi! It's been exactly 51 hours since we disembarked from San Francisco International Airport, new friends in the making. Since then, we've encountered several unexpected adventures.
Little did we know as we boarded our first flight at 12:05 am on Wednesday, that Singapore airlines would become our best friend and our worst enemy. After arriving in Hong Kong, we got off our plane and… Read More
The hostel (Hostal Nim Sut) is AWESOME! So far we´ve been exploring the street food scene, and we´re lovin´it – tacos, pupusas, avocados, and mangos galore! So far the group dynamic is excellent, and we´re gelling like….jello? Our leaders, however…are super weird and nerdy. It is quite a bit colder than we expected here in the Guatemalan highlands, so we´ve been sharing one bed to conserve heat (kidding, obviously).
We´re… Read More
