Australia And Southeast Asia

In Australia, I worked on two farms: one of the country's oldest certified organic blueberry farms in Victoria and a newly off-grid property converting former sugar cane fields into bamboo in Queensland. I learned invaluable life lessons from both the labor and the farmers, who shared their visions for the future and their insights on economic and environmental sustainability.

I learned invaluable life lessons from both the labor and the farmers, who shared their visions for the future and their insights on economic and environmental sustainability. Meanwhile, I learned more about Aboriginal rights issues, navigated migrant labor laws, bonded with a 31-year-old camper van, stumbled upon wildlife like echidnas and pademelons, and volunteered at a weeklong international folk festival. Then I spent three months in Southeast Asia. I experienced the many contrasts of Hindu Bali and Muslim Lombok in Indonesia and hiked to a quiet Buddhist temple at sunrise in Thailand. I got drenched during the region’s New Year water festival, learned to motorbike on death-defying roads in Vietnam, saw how Chinese dam construction was impacting people in Laos, and talked with locals about the ongoing impacts of the American War. I returned to the U.S. with a more intimate understanding of the struggles and similarities of people around the world and a renewed focus on global and local sustainability, equity, and justice efforts.

For the next seven months, I traveled solo through 13 countries and territories, guided treks and hitchhiked around the volcanoes of Nicaragua and Guatemala, planted vegetables and sifted horse manure on a small organic farm, studied nonviolent communication, interpreted for locals and foreigners, shed and sold most of my belongings, found joy in salsa dancing, surfed beautiful breaks along… Show more I flew to Central America with no return ticket and two goals in mind: speak Spanish and test my limits. For the next seven months, I traveled solo through 13 countries and territories, guided treks and hitchhiked around the volcanoes of Nicaragua and Guatemala, planted vegetables and sifted horse manure on a small organic farm, studied nonviolent communication, interpreted for locals and foreigners, shed and sold most of my belongings, found joy in salsa dancing, surfed beautiful breaks along the Pacific, learned to scuba dive around reefs and wrecks in Honduras, climbed 12,533 feet to summit the tallest peak in Costa Rica, and crewed a sailboat more than 1,500 nautical miles through the Caribbean. I navigated new (to me) traditions, perspectives, cities, villages, transportation systems, bureaucracies, and borders. I made lasting friendships and strengthened my communication skills through communal living and countless conversations on bumpy bus rides. I learned to expect the unexpected, adapt quickly, and trust my instincts. Ultimately, I gained a greater sense of humility, curiosity, and self-reliance as well as a better understanding of humanity's shared values and interdependence. Show less
