Living in Bangladesh was such an overwhelming experience, it’s hard for me to articulate what exactly I learned there.

Driving home from work in the afternoon, the city is vastly different from what I see every morning.

The drive to work in the morning is the quietest I ever see the city.

The volunteer and service opportunities in Bangladesh are endless.

A birding trip goes horribly awry.

The southeast of Bangladesh, on the border with Myanmar, is vastly different from Dhaka.

The normal, everyday scenes that I see in Dhaka still seem anything but normal.

Moving to Dhaka, Bangladesh, I had no idea what to expect. My first day exploring the city was unlike anywhere I’ve ever seen.
