Journey of a lifetime

Seamester was a trip that exceeded all of my expectations. I had an opportunity to visit places some people may never see in a lifetime and I got to make countless memories with amazing new people. I grew a bond with not only the students but also the staff that could never be replaced. Everyday I wish I could go back and relive it all just once more.

This trip was the best summer of my life, the experience of living on a 112 foot boat sailing from island to island with 30 other people who thought the trip become people you cant imagine living without having met is life changing. From scuba diving, to sailing at night, to having class snorkeling in the ocean i have had so many unique experiences that i will always treasure.
