"Here I am riding my bicycle on the streets of Amsterdam. Bicycling is the main form of transportation here in Amsterdam, and was something that I really had to get used to. Before I got to Amsterdam, I hadn't ridden a bike in ten years, so when I was finally able to do it here, I really felt like a local, and not an outsider."

Location photo was taken: Montagne Sainte-Victoire, outside of Aix-en-Provence, France
"While I was abroad in Nice, I traveled with my sister to Aix-en-Provence. We decided to hike La Montagne Sainte-Victoire,which was in a rural town outside the main city. The mountain was so picturesque, it looked like a postcard! The hike up the mountain was fairly easy, but little did we know that we would be repelling down the mountain using metal chains! At the end of the day, the hike and view were worth it."
