"Playa Michigan" by Hana Ros
Last summer I studied abroad in Cuernavaca, Mexico for 6 weeks on an IU program. The town, La Ciudad de Eterna Primavera (City of Eternal Spring) was beautiful. However, this photo is from a secluded beach we went camping on near Acapulco where a family cooked for us.

"Bridge to Nature" by Carlin Ma
Between my freshman and sophomore year of high school, I had the privilege of traveling to Germany for three weeks as a participant with Carmel High School and Marie Curie Gynasium exchange program. Primarily, we stayed in Hohen-Neuendorf, a suburb of Berlin, but for three glorious days, we took an excursion to Dresden. There in Dresden, we took a ferry down the Elbe River to climb the Sandstone Mountains, which is where this picture was created. The sheer reaching vastness and unfathomable heights created a distinct feeling that makes any person feel in awe

"One More Glimpse of Her" by Jodi Frank
Every time the three of us started to walk away we couldn't resist turning back for just one more glimpse of her. We caught our shadows this time longing to meet the Eiffel Tower's base as her peak reached for the clouds. Paris was only a weekend adventure, but it was there we realized the meaning of our new found friendship and promised to one day meet again inside the beautiful city as long as she was still standing.

"Into the Sahara on Camel" by Melissa Troyer
This photo was taken in the Sahara desert in eastern Morocco. It was taken on a two-hour trek into the Sahara on camel, after which we were able to watch the sun set from the top of a sand hill and then sleep under the desert stars for a night. It was taken while traveling during a study abroad program in Aix-en-Provence, France. The girl pictured is another IU student, Anna.
