Hello! 
My name is Clarisse, from Discovering Through Photography . I'll be taking over Liv's blog for today. 



Now I have not traveled as much as Liv has, but one of my favorite trips I've taken is when my family and I drove down to Kentucky. The southern parts of the United States are incredibly beautiful and Kentucky was no exception. The drive took us 14 hours. On our way we drove through Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana. My favorite was definitely Wisconsin, we stopped at a waterfall/water hole where people could swim and there was a tunnel of rocks that you could slide down and a cliff to jump off into the pool at the bottom. Not only was it incredibly fun, but also beautiful for photography. 

Once we reached our destination, Louisville, Kentucky, we got to explore the city. Louisville is an incredible city. There is a bridge that connects Indiana to Kentucky that is incredibly long but at night its beautiful. The city is really cool, lots of old buildings and plenty of places to go. One of my favorites was the Waterfront Park 

     
   There is an old railroad track bridge that is now a walking path that is above the park. There happened to be a block party at the time I was visiting so we went to that. One of my absolute favorites and a place i would highly suggest visiting is the Mega Caverns. 
 The caverns was mined in the 1930's and during a time when the U.S. was under the impression of possible bombing, so right now there are certain parts of the 100 acre caverns that have mannequins that represent what it would look like if people did have to go into hiding down there. 

 The caverns have turned into a huge attraction. There is an underground zipline, rope course, dirt                                                                   bike track and party room. 
                                         I personally did not do the zipline but it looked fun
                                                              The rope course
The dirt bike track


Overall, Kentucky is a beautiful state, and I would for sure suggest visiting. There is so much more that I didn't get to see and I definitely want to go again.

How to become an exchange student

THREE STEPS HOW TO GET YOUR EXCHANGE YEAR STARTED: 1. BE SURE. There is a lot of stuff you gotta think about before you decide to become an exchange student. If you only want to learn a foreign language you should take speech classes, not decide to study an entire year abroad. What tempts you to do an exchange year? 2. RESEARCH. Inform yourself about the options you have. What does it actually mean to be away from home for a certain amount of time? Get to know to the different organizations and their different programs. Once you picked an organization you can go ahead and call them. They will be more than welcoming to talk to you and answer all your questions. 3. APPLY. You can get started with your application! In the beginning it will be super easy, it won't tie you to anything nor be too personal. There will be questions like how old you are, what type of school you go to, where you live, what country you would like to go to, and why. Once your application w

Story Time

Hello everybody! It's been a while but now I'm back and today it's story time. So, lean back and enjoy! It's July 5th and summer break has been amazing so far. The 13 hour drive with the old, rusty van to Colorado last week was exhausting. Exhausting because of switching back and forth driving between my best friend and me so both of us could rest, even sleep a little, because of the unbearable heat that broke us in sweat since the van doesn't have an AC, and of the time that literally passed by with seconds feeling like minutes. However, here we go being at one of the most amazing festivals over July 4th! Last night was amazing. We partied until midnight and then started igniting all different kinds of fireworks. At the entire thing were probably around 1000 people which basically means we had around 5000 fireworks in all. Well, at one point in the morning people started going to bed, and I'm not gonna lie, I barely remember anything from that. As you c
