| Semester at Sea Chronicles | MV World Odyssey | December 23, 2017 | Disembarkation Day | The last day on the ship was a mix of emotions. There were tears, smiles, laughs, more tears, and promises of keeping in touch floating through the air. I was excited to get back home to see my family, but saying goodbye to this incredible group of people, and our floating university I’d become go fond of, was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. #semesteratseachronicles #Travel #Traveling #Explore #Wanderlust #Travelgram #RoundTheWorld #trip #voyage #adventure #studyabroad #semesteratsea #sasfall2017 #geotourism #tourist #tourism #lifeisgood #mvworldodyssey https://www.instagram.com/p/Bti5qQ1H65H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m8yf7v4bgyc3

| Semester at Sea Chronicles | MV World Odyssey | December 23, 2017 | Disembarkation Day |           Did you forget that my semester abroad was a full semester of college education? When we weren’t out exploring the world, we were on the ship taking a full semester’s course load, learning from the best of the best. I was fortunate enough to have three professors who are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about tourism, geography, and teaching students how to evaluate the world in new ways. The student - professor relationships on the ship were unlike any I have experienced before. I lived directly across the hall from all of my professors. Not kidding. I had a professor knock on my door one day just to see if I wanted a cookie. We shared meals with them in the dining halls, we sat next to them at educational lectures, and we even had the pleasure of traveling with them. If you didn’t travel with them, there was plenty of time to catch up and swap travel stories. It created such a unique bond. I learned about the tourism industry in the classroom, but what really made an impact was our field classes. I dove head first into real life tourism industry current events. These experiences are invaluable to my education and my understanding of the industry I now work in. It’s safe to say I cried a little bit saying goodbye to each of my professors. #semesteratseachronicles #Travel #Explore #Wanderlust #Travelgram #RoundTheWorld #voyage #adventure #studyabroad #semesteratsea #sasfall2017 #geotourism #tourist #tourism #lifeisgood #MVWorldOdyssey https://www.instagram.com/p/BtgNrbmnat1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cf92ebapfjut

| Semester at Sea Chronicles | New Delhi, India | | October 26, 2017 | Humayun’s Tomb | Built in the 1560’s, Humayun’s Tomb is recognized as the first garden tomb built in India. This trend-setting architectural feat is believed to have inspired many other similar tombs, including India’s prime tourism jewel, the Taj Mahal.  Humayun’s Tomb is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, meeting various criteria for its admirable Mughal architecture, authenticity, and cultural significance. With high tourist traffic, it was easy to forget that we were visiting the final resting place for a number of rulers and their family. The Archaeological Survey of India actively works toward maintaining conservation efforts to preserve both the tomb and garden. #Travel #Traveling #Explore #Wanderlust #Travelgram #RoundTheWorld #trip #voyage #adventure #studyabroad #semesteratsea #sasfall2017 #geotourism #natgeotravel #nationalgeographic #lifeisgood #natgeotravelpic #natgeotraveler #semesteratseachronicles #India #newdelhi #humayunstomb #tourism  #unesco #worldheritage (at Humayun’s Tomb Delhi)

| Semester at Sea Chronicles | Cape Town, South Africa | October 9, 2017 | Seal Island & Penguin Colony | We began our day traveling to Hout Bay. We sailed out to Duiker Island to observe the Cape Fur Seals in their natural habitats. Due to nature of the weather, the waves provided a particular balancing challenge. From fear of dropping my camera into the ocean, I decided to leave my camera in my pack. While I was unable to capture any pictures of seals,  I was able to snag a few photos of the surrounding beauty of Hout Bay, Sentinel Mountain, and the Atlantic Seaboard.   #Travel #Traveling #Explore #Wander #Wanderlust #Travelgram #RoundTheWorld #trip #voyage #adventure #studyabroad #semesteratsea #sasfall2017 #geotourism #natgeotravel #nationalgeographic #yourshotphotographer #lifeisgood #natgeotravelpic #natgeotraveler #semesteratseachronicles #houtbay #sentinelmountain #capefurseals #atlanticseaboard (at Sentinel Mountain)

I could sit here and write pages and pages about the fun of Neptune day, but in order to attempt to keep things a surprise for future SASers, I will leave you with a few celebratory pictures of one of the best days aboard the M.V. World Odyssey.   #Travel #Traveling #Explore #Wander #Wanderlust #Travelgram #RoundTheWorld #trip #voyage #adventure #studyabroad #semesteratsea #sasfall2017 #geotourism #natgeotravel #nationalgeographic #yourshotphotographer #lifeisgood #natgeotravelpic #natgeotraveler #semesteratseachronicles #centeroftheearth #zerozero #latitude #longitude #hemisphere #sail #primemeridian #neptune #neptuneday #titanic

| Semester at Sea Chronicles | Takoradi, Ghana | September 29, 2017 | Global Mama’s Batik | After picking out stamp designs, the sponges are dipped into dark, melted wax, and gently placed on a clean white piece of cloth. While most Mama’s receive designs with instructions and set patterns, our Mama let us choose our own design, creating a unique, personalized piece of art to take home. Here, you will see one of the Semester at Sea professors placing the stamp on the cloth with the guidance of our beloved Mama. #Travel #Traveling #Explore #Wander #Wanderlust #Travelgram #RoundTheWorld #trip #voyage #adventure #studyabroad #semesteratsea #sasfall2017 #geotourism #natgeotravel #nationalgeographic #yourshotphotographer #lifeisgood #natgeotravelpic #natgeotraveler #semesteratseachronicles #ghana #globalmamas #batik # mama #fairtrade #print #stamp #pattern (at Takoradi)

| Semester at Sea Chronicles | MV World Odyssey | December 23, 2017 | Disembarkation Day | Meet Narin, my roommate. Somehow she survived living in a small, inside cabin with me. She tolerated me doing a majority of my laundry in the sink, endless naps, and numerous alarms that honestly never woke me up. Thanks for being an awesome roomie Narin! #semesteratseachronicles #Travel #Traveling #Explore #Wanderlust #Travelgram #RoundTheWorld #trip #voyage #adventure #studyabroad #semesteratsea #sasfall2017 #geotourism #natgeotravel #tourist #tourism #nationalgeographic #lifeisgood #natgeotravelpic #natgeotraveler #MVWorldOdyssey https://www.instagram.com/p/BtG9VJvn932/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1oj2huci0les2
