Alex Crumpler, ’02, “One year ago,
Sonia Barbalho and I entertained one
another about the possibility of traveling
together. Having the passion to see the
world, challenging ourselves in foreign
situations and a desire to widen our
global perspective, we began planning an
extended trip that would include much of
South America, Australia and Southeast
Asia. The dream became a reality! We felt
that there will be few times afforded to us in
our lives to go on a similar journey. Budget
in mind, we agreed that the purpose of
our trip will be to immerse ourselves in a
menagerie of cultures, languages and life
lessons.
“Thus far we have survived a week in Rio
de Janeiro celebrating Carnival, witnessed
the creation of a perfect Argentinean
Malbec, explored the ruins of Machu Picchu,
walked across floating islands made of
reeds in Lake Titicaca and biked through the
Patagonian Lake District.
“The adventure will have an exponential
impact on who we are as people and
positively enrich our international awareness.
Traveling increases one’s appreciation for
life, evokes curiosity and passion, sharpens
one’s ability to adapt and, most importantly,
it energizes the mind to learn.
“We seized an opportunity and made
many sacrifices in order to follow our hearts
and dreams. This adventure would not have
been possible without the love, support
and knowledge of our friends and families.
You have enlightened, inspired and instilled
the qualities and values that have and will
continue to shape us for the rest of our lives.
Words cannot express our gratitude for the
many things you have bestowed upon us.
Although this may be an unconventional way
to learn, the potential to learn is endless.
We love you and will continue to share our
insights, experiences, recommendations
and appreciation. The web address is www.
