One Rotary Scholar's Adventures in Argentina
Since meeting my Host Rotary Counselors, Alberto & Elena Diaz from Rotary Mendoza Barraquero, I seem to have been on a rollercoaster of Rotary Events. When we first met, I was taken to an elaborate Rotary dinner almost every night for a week! Below are photos taken at one of these dinners, located on the outskirts of town at a finca (vineyard), the upper one of Alberto and Elena.

I was born and raised in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on the tiny island of Oahu, Hawaii. I come from a long line of travelers - in fact, my parents met while traveling - and the bug has definitely been passed on to me. After graduating from highschool, I headed east to Colorado for my Bachelor's degree in Natural Resources, Recreation & Tourism. Since then, I seem to have been on a southward trail, heading to Belize for a study abroad, then to Costa Rica for a job as an adventure tour guide, then back to Hawaii for a stint to get my master's degree researching ecotourism certification, and now, about as far south as one can get, I am in Argentina, studying geography in a desert oasis called Mendoza, at the foot of the tallest mountain in the western hemisphere, thanks to an Ambassador of Goodwill Scholarship from the Rotary Foundation.
