Today was the last day of the program. It has been a few weeks since I’ve last posted, so there’s a little bit to catch up on, bear with me. For the most part, most of our days in Reykjavik consisted of the same routine that started with making the morning trek from the hostel […]

We finally made it to Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. It is so weird being in a city after spending a few weeks in such a sparsely populated area. I already love this city. Everything is really expensive, but there are so many cool shops and restaurants to check out downtown. We are staying in […]

I am finally settled into my host family’s home in Ísafjörđur. The view from their backyard is straight off of a post card. Up on a hill, their house overlooks most of the downtown area and the surrounding mountains. I have two “siblings”, a 15 year old sister and a 20 year old brother who […]

These past few days have been pretty hectic, but I’m finally in Iceland! Somehow this country is even more gorgeous than I imagined it to be. Everywhere you turn the scenery is breathtaking, my eyes are exhausted from taking it all in. The first day I arrived, after an overnight flight with little sleep and […]

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.
