| The MV Explorer! |
- It's crazy to think less than one month from now I will be living on a ship! My visa's came in a few days ago, I have all my books ordered and all I have left to do is pack. So, I guess now is a good time to write about all the stuff I forgot to in my last post...
I have listed my itinerary below. I tend to have people ask me what it is a lot and while I have no problem reciting it for them, it is probably smarter just to write it down. I tend to have lots of people ask me which country I am most excited to visit and I still don't have an answer. When I was first looking at applying to the program, I was really looking forward to visiting Japan, going to a tea ceremony and eating lots of sushi. Now, after researching each country and seeing how different they all are from each other, I don't have somewhere I am most excited to go, because I am excited to go everywhere! I want to be able to see how the cultures differ from each other, I want to visit the Great Wall of China and call my parents from the top, I want to see Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, I want to sail through the Amazon on a riverboat, and so much more.
While on the ship I will be taking 12 credits. Global Studies (which is required for all students), World Theater and Performance, World Literature in English, and Travel Writing. I am really excited for the Travel Writing class. I have never taken anything like it before and I would love to learn more about it!
