I’ve craved travel for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid I used to watch streaming videos from different places all over the world, watching people go about their days, wondering what it was like to be in another city, state, country. I ‘liked’ and ‘hearted’ internet friends’ posts as they… Read more »

Salutations! There are many times in life that I have wondered whether or not I am good enough for what lies ahead in my future. Countless times in my childhood, I have been told that I am such a nice and smart person. It always appeared to be so insincere; merely an attempt to shut… Read more »

5 flights, 4 friends, 2 overnight layovers and countless memories briefly describe my travel to Paros, Greece. I don’t even know where to begin when talking about this study abroad trip – nothing I have ever experienced could ever compare.   I have spent the last 12 days on this small Island in the middle… Read more »

Today was filled with adventures to different places including a cave on Antiparos. This cave was amazing and very deep…. Read more »

This was the first day to dumping all the footage from the day before. There were 3 interviews with video and audio, and B-roll from two other cameras. The night before, I tried to prepare by gathering up as much footage as I could and start to label the files. But no matter what, it… Read more »

Time seems to work differently here in Greece. Maybe it’s because I’m in a new and unfamiliar place. Days pass by, and I feel like I’ve spent both mere seconds and an eternity here on this incredible island. The whole experience continues to feel surreal to me. Every time we leave the villa where we… Read more »

Today I was able to meet and help record a man here in Paros who makes cleaning and hygiene products from waste called Bio Tev. As he spoke to us about how and why he does what he does he became emotional and even walked out to pull himself together. He is so moved by… Read more »
