My Travel Story

by: Ana Lucia Waller Start Date: Aug 26, 2025 - End Date: Dec 14, 2025
Hi everyone!

As a junior at NC State University, I'm actively involved on campus through leadership roles and various other activities. In the Spring of 2026, I will study abroad through the Semester at Sea program. I'll be sailing from Thailand to Germany, stopping at ports along the way to visit at least ten countries in almost four months! At each port, I will engage in field programs that explore the local culture, history, and regional challenges, allowing me to connect classroom learning with firsthand global experiences.

I plan to use this amazing opportunity not only to broaden my global perspective but also to bring those insights back to my community. Whether through campus leadership, community service, or mentoring, my goal is to share what I've learned in ways that foster cross-cultural understanding and global awareness. Professionally, this experience will strengthen my ability to work across cultures and navigate diverse environments—skills that are increasingly important in today’s interconnected world.

Semester at Sea is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it comes with significant costs. Your support would make an immense difference, allowing me to experience this trip to the fullest! I am so grateful for your involvement and for helping make my voyage as accessible, sustainable, and impactful as possible.

Thank you for helping me set sail on this incredible adventure!
