Hey Alina – That sounds like a very interesting ONG you are involved in and when exactly is the cultural experience exchange? What dates in September? I will certainly have a think and see if I can come up with any ideas for you for that event…I always find it fascinating when people discuss their preconceived notions about a place in comparison to the reality they discover when they actually visit that destination and meet the people who live there. Usually, we find that the countries we visit are very different than what we think we’ll find!
· I there is something I really like on Instagram, I usually tweet it, then when I get on my computer, I pin the image URL from the tweet! It’s not as easy as pinnin an image directly from a site, but it’s worked well for me in the past when something has really caught my eye.
