Introduction


Hi everybody! My name is Siobhan Shaw. 
The location I have chosen is Tahiti which is part of French Polynesia. 





I chose Tahiti because it is an island I have always wanted to visit. I studied the island for my French class a few years ago. I instantly thought of Tahiti when choosing a place to study from a physical geography stand point. Apart from the beauty of this tropical island, the topography is quite interesting. Tahiti is made up of sandy beaches as well as tall mountains with lush jungles. I believe the variety on this island will help me to utilize information I will learn during the course of this class.
