In between semesters in the summer of 2005, I moved to the nation's capital to participate in an internship of sorts with Greenpeace. Their program to train future activists called the Greenpeace Organizing Term, brought together college students from all over the country to learn how to be better organizers.

As part of our semester of learning, we traveled across the pond to Paris to join a protest marking the 20th anniversary of the sinking of the ship The Rainbow Warrior.
After meeting up with hundreds of other members of Greenpeace from all over the world, we traveled to Amsterdam to study at the organization's international headquarters. We also got to stay on a ship called the Esperanza.
