The group is connecting well, becoming a family. Had a huge dance party last night, looking forward to more of those.
¡Adios!… Read More
It is hard to believe that it has only been two and a half days here in Masaya. While the long plane rides were taxing, we all made it through just fine. Arriving at the beautiful Casa Nica was a relief for a couple of reasons. We were all ready for some sleep, and the beds felt pretty comfortable. Also, our host Josh has been very generous in sharing the… Read More

Hello from Uganda!
We spent the day walking around the small town of Entebbe on the shores of Lake Victoria. There’s a bustling main road, but we still enjoyed a quiet afternoon at the botanical gardens yesterday. We found papaya and avocado at the market today, and plan to enjoy them with the group later. Thanks to some friendly locals, we managed to find most of our scavenger hunt items.… Read More
Hey there! This is Mia and Fred checking in at the humble Internet Cafe located on the main strip of downtown Entebbe. Entebbe is located on a hill overlooking the peaceful Lake Victoria. Directly adjacent to the lake is the Botanical Garden filled with ancient trees, vibrant red flowers, termite hills, and hidden monkeys (which we didn’t get to see!!) Walking down the hill of the gardens leads you to… Read More
Eladde!
So Natalie and I are here in Entebbe Uganda on our scavenger hunt, kicking butt and taking names. We had an awesome lunch at a place called Faith’s Restaurant. We enjoyed some Matooke (savory plantain mash) and sauce. There was a sweet animal program playing on the TV and included a bit of Lake Victoria, which we went to yesterday! We’ve been staying at a hostel that is about… Read More
Hey ya’ll!! Greetings from Brad, Evangeline, and Walker. After 4 planes, a day tour of Singapore during a lay-over, and a long and frightening taxi ride through Delhi, we arrived in Majnu Katila at Tara House. We spent the last 2 days soaking up the endless excitement and chaos of Delhi. One of the highlights so far has been last night when we sprawled out on the rooftop, shared our… Read More
Cheridyn, Ryan and the crew have all rendezvoused at the airport minus one student who unfortunately will be meeting the group in Fiji a couple of days late. They have proceeded through security and their flight has departed! Though their flight is a long one, on the other end the Fijian Islands beckon along with a beautiful new adventure. The group was all smiles and laughter as they left and… Read More
Megan, Matt and Payton here. We are in the Incredible India tourist information center with our new and helpful friend Samir. After taking a rickshaw into the center of town, we have been running around to a local bazaar, seeing a few temples, and in general getting a bit lost. We have already fallen in love with crazy, busy, wonderful India. Our quaint guest house in Old Delhi, specifically the… Read More
After 24 hours of various transfers and flights we finally made it to our destination; Guatamela City Airport. We were promptly picked up by two vans which took us through Guatemala City, Antigua, and up into the surrounding mountains to our current location. The Earth Lodge is nestled high up in the clouds surrounded by a beautiful luscious forest, as well as numerous avacado and lime trees. The view was… Read More
Wandering around Quito today was a lot of fun. We got some delicious ice cream with blackberries and mystery fruit from the Andes. Afterwards, we journeyed up to Parque la Carolina and did some people watching at the skate park. We ate lunch at a sketchy underground restaurant, which was surprisingly decent. Some highights of the afternoon included seeing some adorbs stray puppies, dancing in the park, and stopping in… Read More

This is Aden Brown writing to you, our adoring fans, from an internet cafe in Quito- along with Ashley Bruce and Logan Fry. I am currently writing at a rate of 1 cent per minute so… we have some time.
Quito is an interesting city. There are very few apartment buildings- the streets are lined with small shops. Think CVS but smaller and with fewer product options. The housing complexes… Read More
Well we were given about 10 tasks as part of a scavenger hunt and they have been quite enjoyable. We have eaten some delicious seafood, obviously well cooked, and had a giant star fruit. All the people we have met are very helpful and good natured about our broken Spanish. It has been aswesome to get out into the city with the mountains as a beautiful backdrop to the bustling… Read More
