This has been the most amazing trip of my life just now finishing up and cannot believe the experience I have gained from traveling. The traveling, sailing, academics all of it as a whole is something I will never forget for the rest of my life.

Voyage of a Lifetime

This experience completely altered the course of my life. I have learned so much from my fellow students and staff and therefore can without a doubt say that this was the best decision I have ever made for myself. My new perspectives and outlook on life are indescribable, and I hardly recognize my old self. My favorite memories are the little moments: a private laugh across the cockpit, staying up with another watch team an extra 30 minutes, skipping through clouds on top of a mountain, a giant ...

As soon as I got to college I knew I wanted to study abroad. I had friends who shared their experiences with me and I began planning my experience pretty early. I wanted to expand my horizons and learn about the world through first hand experiences. I did a lot of online research and was trying to decide between programs in Italy and Spain. I had traveled to Germany as a high school student and I knew that I wanted to explore Europe further.
