Right now we are in an internet cafe near our hostel. So far India has been amazing! It’s overwhelming but we know we will gain so much from this experience. Our group has such a great dynamic already and have so much fun together. One of the best parts of each day is eating together. Here is a picture of one of our family dinners:

We are now all in Chiang Mai. At the moment we’re all on a scavenger hunt through the city, finding interesting places and meeting new friendly people. It’s a whole different experience and truly another side of the world here. So far it’s been refreshing to be away from cell phones and other technology that we rely on. Everyone in the group is excited to be here and ready to… Read More
Here we are just outside of Flagstaff at the EcoRanch, directed by one Jeff Meilander. The San Francisco peaks nearby have been our morning companions, being first touched by a warm light before we camp-dwellers can see the sun itself come up over the horizon. The past five days of orientation have already been rich with information and experience, both of the Native culture and our own tribal culture that… Read More
Hi Everyone,
It’s Henry and Tera from an internet cafe in Sigatoka, Fiji. Today we’re out and about around the town looking for a bunch of different items and information from a scavenger hunt list. So far we’ve gotten some traditional Fijian clothing, found some interesting phrases in Fijian, hunted around the market for food and other items, and more. I’d love to write more, but we’re on a tight… Read More
Bula! Austin & Evin here on our epic scavenger hunt throughout Sigatoka, Fiji. It has been an incredible first few days here in this beautiful and polite country. Orientation has been very informative as well as fun, we cannot wait to put to use what we have learned so far about Fijian culture with our host families. The past few days have been filled with exciting activities like games of… Read More
Hey guys, it’s Jill and Grant! We don’t have much time to write a lengthy, detailed post just yet, but we do have time to give you a brief run-down on our adventure so far!
After arriving at our Tubakula beach bungalos the other day, we were promptly greeted by the beautiful culture and atmosphere of Fiji. Immediately, everyone fell in love with the sights, sounds, smells, and overall feels… Read More
Hey everybody, it’s Em and Brooke coming to you from Sigatoka, Fiji. Today we are doing a scavenger hunt in pairs, and we are taking full advantage of our opportunity to explore the town.
The people in Fiji (Fijians) are unreal, so friendly and loving… can’t walk down the street without hearing “BULA!!” (hello)
Sorry this has to be so short, but as you can tell we are… Read More
Lisa, Sophia, Maya and Katie are here in Antigua and we´d like to tell you that it is awesome and so is our group! We have seen many awesome things today. A bunch of cute boys came and kissed us on the cheeks many times after taking a picture with us (Lisa took it). Gotta love that southern courtship. Pretty soon we´re going to go eat delicious food and converse… Read More
Lizza and Ellen are exploring the beautiful city of Antigua at the momento. So far we have eaten banana bread, explored gorgeous ruins, and walked through the ever colorful markets. We win the scavenger hunt. The end. Mucho amor por nuestras familias en las estados unidos.
Less than 3, Lizza and Ellen… Read More

Headed to the fort on horses, hopefully they don´t bite/poop on us.

¡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
We are in here in Cyber King in Nicaragua finding our map of Masaya for our scavanger hunt. Mariah has no idea what shes doing and will solely rely on Celinas talent. Celina is unsure if this is a good idea. However, we will press on and embrace our weaknesses!
Con Amor,
Mariah y Celina… Read More

Our first stop was the Internet Cafe called Cyber King, it is our first time having access to internet since we… 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
