Diego Lasner

Diego is passionate about breaking boundaries. He is involved heavily in choir in his current school, Mt. Lebanon High School, and is part of the men's ensemble and chamber choir. He also is co-president of the a-cappella club. He also spends his time expressing himself through acting in an Evening Theater Company. His goals for the year are to become as fluent as possible in Spanish (so he can communicate with his Ecuadorian side of the family), learn more about his Ecuadorian roots and culture, and to amplify his drive to learn and explore. He is inspired by the natural beauty of wildlife and humanity.

Galapagos: A Photo Blog 🏝 BY DIEGO LASNER I decided dedicating a normal written blog to my independent travel time spent in Galapagos would be underwhelming, and completely not doing the islands justice. As one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to, I decided to show the world its beauty through pictures and...

After spending around two and a half weeks with my permanent host family, I feel like I have become familiar enough with the house and my family to talk about my homestay and its cultural differences.  Firstly, I want to talk about my house-or rather my two houses. The first house, I live in with...
