Welcome, I'm Christian van de Werken. I'm a junior studying Business Administration with a specialization in Finance Management at the University of Colorado.
For my physical geography 'field trip' assignment, I have selected the island of Roatán - the largest of the four Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras. I chose this location because I've visited it on past vacations, dove many parts around the island, found the environment to be incredibly beautiful and plan to return to Roatán over the summer of 2011 to get my Dive Master certification (with a fresh supplementary scientific understanding of the locale).

Roatán is incredibly beautiful from land,
remarkably tranquil from the air 
and has a powerfully dazzling ambience underneath the ocean surface. 
Over the duration of this project, I will adhere to the grading criteria by providing geographical information, but will do so with photos and experience from my previous visits used to substantiate my arguments.Throughout the course of this semester, I hope to gain knowledge that will not only educate me about the Honduran island, but also about the natural environment that surrounds me. I look forward to a successful Spring 2011 semester in Dr. Casey D. Allen's Physical Geography 1202 class!
