My sit spot is located on a lovely wooden bench next to the Flueckiger See, which is right behind my university apartment. The See is a very popular destination in summer for locals, but for my first observation, there were not many people out in the 35 degree weather. I noticed the peaceful rippling of […]

Saludos desde Chile! On my 2nd day in Puerto Natales, Chile, my home for the next 15 weeks, I took a trip down to the water to journal with 2 other students. The wind here is like nothing else! Sitting at these concrete chairs meant for a game of chess, I see beautiful dimensions of […]

Ciao a tutt* di Bologna. My sit spot is the public park adjacent to the dorm I am living in this semester. This week, while sitting on a bench it began to drizzle. The rain made the smell of the earth brighten and the leaves dewy. In this park, there is the remnants of a […]
