Peru Part 1: Amazon Rainforest

Justine International

Back in December and January, I traveled to Peru for two weeks. The trip included several days in the Amazon basin, a week in the Andes mountains, and then a few days on the Pacific coast. As you can guess, it was a pretty incredible trip. It was also too great to talk about in just one post, so in this post I’ll focus on the first part: four days in the Amazon rainforest.

Scuba Diving in Rapa Nui (Easter Island)

Justine International

Back in June, I had the amazing opportunity to go to Rapa Nui (known in the US as Easter Island) as a faculty lead on a study abroad trip. I’ve had a crazy semester and am way behind on writing blog posts, so I’m going to try to start catching up. First up: a bit more about Rapa Nui, this time focusing on my experience scuba diving there.

What’s in That Hole? – Episode 16

Justine International, What's in that hole?

Hello everybody and welcome to Episode 16 of What’s in that Hole?, a fun series I’m writing for my blog. It’s been nearly two years since the last post in this series – which means I have lots of exciting new material! In the last episode, I described some holes I found in the desert Coolidge, Arizona. This time, we’re going to look at holes underwater off the coast of Kona, Hawaii – just about as different as you can possibly get!

Work and Scuba Trip: Jakarta and Lembeh, Indonesia (August 2018)

Justine International

Back in August, I was lucky enough to travel to Jakarta, Indonesia for work. Since I’m on an academic-year contract, I was also able to stay for a while after the work was finished. This gave me the opportunity to explore a bit more of the country before the new semester started. Here, I’ll give a quick recap of the trip and more importantly, share some photos!
