  • Looking for a cozy holiday gift for a special someone on your list? Consider a sweater from @pakasweaters 🦙🦙🦙
.
Gap year alum Kris Cody founded Paka after spending his gap year in Peru. (Hear his founder story on @gapyearradio episode 301!) Paka sweaters are handmade by traditional weavers who are paid a fair trade wage for their artistry. Each sweater is signed by the woman who made it! Oh, and Paka also supports their employees by ensuring their children have access to high quality daycare in their neighborhood. 👶🏽👧🏽🧒🏾
.
Note: this isn’t an #ad- just throwing some love at a great product run by a gap year alum! I have a Paka sweater and I love it! 🧶

  • It’s #CyberMonday - use your dollar to support worthwhile brands with an ethos that aligns with your values. 💸
.
EnRoute student Isabelle has spent her fall in Guatemala interning with Sharing the Dream. The clip above is a video she produced about the Elder Center Beading Group. The proceeds from the group’s handcrafted jewelry go to supporting an elder center in Santiago Atitlán that provides meals, events and other services to the community’s elderly population. 👵🏽

  • Hey there instaverse! Back from my digital hiatus and here to wish you a happy December! ❄️☃️🎄
.
Taking some time away from this handle was a good reminder that it’s fun to engage my greater community in this space but it’s ok to take a break from it too.
.
This shot was captured atop Stowe Pinnacle by my husband yesterday. 🤩 It’s a good reminder to live in the moment and deeply appreciate all that is around us in real life! Did you choose to #optoutside this weekend? What did you do?

  • I’m taking a vacation… from Instagram!
.
For the month of November, I’m going to opt out of this platform in order to give myself more time off of my phone so I can better concentrate on some other projects. 💬
.
I love sharing photos and stories from my students, so that will all return in December. 👫👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏽👩🏽‍🤝‍👩🏼👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏻
.
Do you need a refresh as well? Don’t be afraid to take some time off of the gram… It will always be here when you return. 😌
  • It’s Dìa de los Muertos - the Day of the Dead- in Mexico.
.
EnRoute student Jacob is currently in Oaxaca, Mexico witnessing the traditional observance of this centuries-old holiday. Oaxaca is one of the epicenters of this vibrant celebration, which honors loved ones who have passed away.
.
There he will enjoy treats like candy skulls and pan de muerto (a sweet roll, literally “bread of the dead”). He will witness Oaxacans visiting their deceased relatives’ gravesites, elaborately decorated with candles, offerings and marigold petals. They will also create ofrendas in their homes- decorated altars with pictures of their dearly departed.
.
In town there will be street parades, twilight vigils and thousands of people dressed up as calaveras, as pictured here.  It’s a fascinating cultural festival that stretches over several days.
.
Be conscious in your own use of calaveras in costumes or decorations. Dia de los Muertos is a deeply meaningful occasion, not an excuse to dress up as a beautiful skeleton. To learn more about this holiday and how it is observed, check out the “What is the Day of the Dead?” video from @natgeo.

  • Wishing you all treats and no tricks! 🎃👻🧛🏻‍♀️
  • Many gap year students dedicate their time to learning how to protect our fragile marine ecosystem. Some go on to dedicate their life’s work to our oceans. 🐠🐙🐋
.
Thinking today about conservationist and director of @coresea_official Eike Schoenig. A former student informed me Eike passed away a few weeks ago. Eike was a passionate research scientist and educator. Many volunteers passed through his organization and went on to become PhDs, environmental advocates and skilled naturalists. Sending warm thoughts to the Core Sea family during this difficult time. 💙
