Semester At Sea: Travelling The World And Having The Time Of Your Life.

I learned to travel better independently as well as how to better communicate with locals in foreign places. The experience has inspired me to travel more, particularly to non-western places. It has not influenced my academic interests or my future career other than the fact that I now may want to take a few years off of working...

Intense But Life Changing!

Semester at Sea gave me a good preview of many different countries. It gave me a more educated idea of where I would want to travel back to as well as what I would want to do at these places.

Around The World: Finding Friends In The People Of The World

I learned how much I love all countries in the world! I thought I would like the countries that I was going to but I didn't think I would love them and want to go back but I was wrong. I want to go back to every country I went to and do all the things I didn't have enough time to do! I also learned how unimpressed I am with co...

The Greatest Experience Of My Life!

Semester at sea challenged my worldview by exposing me, first hand, to the realities of the world. It changed my future by givening me an interest in international affairs and making me consider a minor in international studies. It changed my perspective to be more aware of my personal impact on the planet and to be more consci...
