Favourite Global Memory:
My favourite Global memory from class was watching the Martin Luther skits. They were super creative and entertaining to watch, and gave us one of our first opportunities to work with our classmates. Of course, I also loved hiking in Algonquin park with my German partner Rabea!
Unexpected Lessons Learned from Global:
In Global, I learned to focus less on the marks, and to enjoy the experience and learning in class. With all of the unique and interesting projects, I had to learn to prioritize my personal learning process without stressing over a grade.
What Does Global Mean to You?
Global to me means bonding with a group of passionate students and expanding my worldview through a unique and fun program that pushes me outside my comfort zone by incorporating both academic and experiential learning.

What did you enjoy most about online school?
I enjoyed having the ability to schedule my day and sleep in. Online school also gave me time to balance my schoolwork with activities that help my mental and physical well-being and spending time with my family.

Overtourism: The Cultural and Environmental Impacts on Host Countries
With the recent rise of the global middle class, international travel and tourism has rapidly grown. Long thought of as a benign and beneficial industry, tourism has been allowed to flourish in many areas with complete ignorance of or disregard for the impacts. In many destinations, this mindset has led to the phenomenon of overtourism. Far beyond the overcrowding of popular landmarks, there are significant negative cultural and environmental impacts that are unseen by visitors. Underneath the beautiful facade shown to tourists, host communities are struggling to deal with large numbers of foreigners who are ignorant of the social realities of each area, and who, through their activities, significantly harm the local environment. From resource shortages to cultural erosion, this paper explores the impacts on destinations faced with an influx of visitors, as well as the roots of the issue and possible solutions for overtourism.
