NGSE Alaska 2013

National Geographic Student Expeditions

I was lucky enough to be chosen to go to Alaska with 'Nat-Geo'.

This expedition was one of the most exciting things I've ever done in my life. After a typical application process and some teacher reccomendations, I was chosen! There were 19 kids, 3 leaders, and tons of fun! It was hard at times, but the different cultures, foods, and wildlife made it all worth it. We even got to meet wildlife/bear expert Matthais Breiter! Some fun links to check out are below!
