The Day After The Monkey Attack
The day started at 8:30 am when we rushed to the Hospital. No one was hurt, we just needed to get a medical report done to enter our 10-day hiking location. We got our BP and blood report done. We then returned and started our regular WAFA training. It was the last day of WAFA,…
Trek the Halls
As a chronically anxious person and worrywart, being on a need-to-know basis has been the hardest cultural difference to manage, although it might just be the nature of this program. I’m always craving to know every single detail of everything that’s supposed to take place in the next few days just because I want to…

2 Days Out from the Hike
Today we finished our Wilderness Advanced First Aid Course! Everyone passed the test, and now, we never have to sit in a classroom for 8 hours straight again. Along with passing the test, a lot of the group has been getting together to go to the nearby school gym to play games. So, last night,…
India Adventures: Adjusting, Leading, and Trek-prep!
We are about 30% through the trip now and I feel like I’m adjusting well to my new location. I think the study abroad team itself is also doing very well. We’ve had several reflection sessions and feedback opportunities, and I think the team is communicating very well with each other and forming a positive…
