Hi guys! I’m Satya, I’m 17, and I go to Oakland Tech High School. My trip will be on June 5th to Costa Rica, so if you are in my delegation, I’m excited to meet you! I am super excited to go to Costa Rica and immerse myself in nature and learn about some of the environmental issues and maybe some ways to help prevent them. Hopefully, I can even learn some strategies and habits that I can bring back home to Oakland to try and help my own community as well. I have been out of the country before, the furthest was to visit some family in India, but it will be fun to experience a whole new culture that I can learn from. I have a few hobbies, but I love camping/road trips, and building things. I am part of my schools backstage crew, but thats mostly just an excuse to use power tools 🙂 I hope I will also be able to apply those skills on my global glimpse trip because I think it is so fun. I love listening to music, and lately I have been a little obsessed with The Velvet Underground and Big Thief, but if any of y’all have any recommendations, I would love to hear them when we meet (even if it might be a while before I can actually listen to them). Other than that, I love reading, mindlessly consuming television for much longer than I should, and going to the beach- the water might be frigid, but the sunsets are gorgeous. I’m so excited for this trip, making new connections, and learning a lot!
