Kia Orana! I’m Elizabeth, a rising junior majoring in Information Systems and Human-Computer Interaction. I’m one of the three student consultants in the Cook Islands this summer.
Chloe, Amin and I left Pittsburgh on the afternoon of Monday the 16th. After almost 24 hours in the air with stopovers in Charlotte, Los Angeles, and Auckland, New Zealand, we finally arrived in Rarotonga on Tuesday night, Hawaiian-Aleutian time.
Rarotonga is very beautiful. We’re surrounded by blue ocean, green mountains, coconut trees and many nice people. The weather here is lovely compared to Pittsburgh — it’s warm and sunny during the daytime and cool during the night, with the occasional tropical rain.
