Introduction

Li-hó! That is hello! in Taiwanese. My name is Sara Warren I am a history major, minoring in secondary education. My goal is to become a high school history teacher, transporting my students to a world unlike the one they currently reside in. I want to make history a living, changing thing. I have always been interested in geography as it pertains to history, especially ancient civilizations and how nature and the geographic climate morph ruins and components of old cities.
I have chosen to study the physical geography of Thailand's largest island, Phuket. As a history major it would have been an obvious choice to select ancient Rome or the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. I chose the road less traveled. I am excited to explore Phuket province because Thailand is rich in culture and beautiful landscapes. Having been born and raised in the desert landscape of Mesa, Arizona I like the idea of exploring a more plush landscape and ancient location rich in culture and history.
