Co-Director, cinematographer
EF-Education First provides students with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get out of their comfort zones, travel abroad to unfamiliar places, and learn about people and cultures other than their own first-hand. These unique experiences open up the world for students, often traveling abroad for the first time, to discover more about themselves and reflect on their place in the world.
The Emerald Isle
Scotland and Ireland are steeped in culture and rich history. From step-dancing to sheep herding, traditional bagpiping to mythical folklore, and towering cathedrals to rolling highlands, these two countries offer every possible historic and modern experience. Students on this trip truly connected with the pride of the people and their love for the land they call home.

Athens and the islands
In the birthplace of democracy, students get to experience the cohabitation of ancient and modern culture. Athens seats the Acropolis at its center, surrounded by the modern development of city life, but always watched over by the mythological gods of its ancient past. From the savory flavors of its mediterranean cuisine to the iconic white and blue structures along the coast of Santorini, Greece offers a plethora of adventure and endless lessons on resilience.

ICEland
To explore Iceland is to feel other-worldly. There is nowhere on earth quite like it. Nature is in abundance on the viking island, and humans have learned to co-exist peacefully amongst the waterfalls, glaciers, mountains and hot springs. We can all learn a lesson from how the Icelandic people have developed sustainable living methods that give back to the land as much as they may take from it. This beautiful country offers lessons of grace and humility in the presence of boundless discovery.
