Love, Tips, and Some Harsh Reality

June 30, 2016 by Samantha Dreher 3 Comments

My sister and I arrived smoothly in Porto Alegre. Everyone said it would be freezing here because winters are cold in the South, but once I saw it would be between 50s and 60s, I was doubtful. That’s the t-shirt weather of early NJ springs. What no one explained was that the houses are made […]

DO put lime juice on everything, just trust me.  DON’T make the mistake of thinking buses in Oaxaca have designated stops. It’s a free for all. Just get up and stand near the door when you’re ready to get off. DO try all seven moles (Negro, Rojo, Verde , Coloradito, Amarillo, Chichilo, and Manchamantel). DON’T […]

Góðan daginn! That is the most common greeting in Iceland. After a few days of Icelandic classes, the language is becoming slightly less foreign to me. I can actually pick up a few words here and there, although I will still be far from fluent even at the end of my trip. It is Sunday […]

Reflection Post

June 26, 2016 by Ethan Bloomer Leave a Comment

I returned home from South Africa on the morning of the 23rd, and I already miss it like crazy. I want to eventually become a veterinarian that works with zoo animals or wildlife, so the experience that I got in South Africa with Dr. Rogers was just amazing. I got to learn from and work […]

What Is This? Who Are They?

This blog is home to the thoughts and images of Rutgers University students as they travel the world this summer. Each student received a scholarship to experience the sciences beyond their New Jersey borders. In addition to the research and/or coursework, they will keep a journal or blog. Their thoughts are recorded once or twice a week over the duration of their international experience.

For more information about this scholarship, please visit the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences International Programs page at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.
