Hey

Hey there fellow travelers. The name is Harding. Abigail Harding. (I prefer Abbie) I had a witty post about myself, and on the flight home to Charlotte from Boston (where I spent the first part of my Spring Break with my sister) which I managed to forget in the 45 minutes that our flight was delayed. Anyway, I'm from Charlotte, North Carolina. I'm 17 and going to Siena College in Albany in Fall of 2011. This will be my second trip with P2P and I'm just as excited as any of you are! Can't wait to meet up in Atlanta :)

Here's my facebook if you wanna add me: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1406569234

That *should* work.

See y'all in June!

Change your World... We have the power

I posted this video on my FB - but thought I'd share here also.  The Student Ambassador motto is "Change Your World Forever"  - sometimes it is just a matter of choosing the right words....  Click on the above title to watch this short video made in the UK.  What do you think?

Welcome Brendan!

Brendon joins us from the great state of Massachusetts.  We look forward to reading your post and getting to know you! 

Ciao ragazzi :) I'm Azzurra and I'm Italian. I'm 16 and I go to Bellaire High School in Houston TX. Can't wait to go on the trip and have fun! Saluti

Facebook Group

I created a Facebook group to make it easier for us to network (become Facebook friends). The group is named P2P Galapagos just like our blog. I hope it is helpful! http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_180422022005191&ap=1

Kris Koko

Hey everybody, my name is Kris Koko, and I am 16. I am a sophomore at Birch Run High school in the city of Birch Run, Michigan. I enjoy listening to music, and attempting to draw. I play football, and I am a varsity baseball player. I have traveled with People to People several times, but the most memorable would be my Student ambassadors’ trip to Australia & New Zealand, and Sports Ambassadors to Austria. I am really easy to get along with, and I can’t wait to meet up with you guys in Atlanta!

Hit me up on Facebookà Kris Koko
