Hello Friends!

As most of you know, I am leaving for Australia and New Zealand in less than 48 hours. Crazy! I am studying abroad to finish my undergrad career through the School for Field Studies, an environmental study abroad organization. The first few weeks will be spent traveling around the North Island of New Zealand, looking at the indigineous culture and their natural resource management techniques. From there I'll head to Queensland, Australia to compare the way they manage natural resources in their rainforest. The second half of the program will focus on tropical rainforest research.

Since I will be traveling around in New Zealand and living in a rainforest in Australia, I will not have the greatest internet access but I'll try to post updates when I can!

Wish me luck!
