My Travel Story

by: Solveig Erickson Start Date: Mar 1, 2018 - End Date: Aug 31, 2018
September 2018, I will be embarking in Hamburg, Germany on a cruise ship that many refer to as a "floating campus". I'll be taking 15 college credits through Colorado State University while traveling to four continents (Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America) and eleven countries (Germany, Spain, Ghana, South Africa, Mauritius, India, Myanmar, Vietnam, China, Japan, Hawaii) in 107 days! I'll be arriving back in San Diego just in time for Christmas and to begin my second semester. This program is called Semester At Sea.

After a long, tough, and rewarding year I have learned that it in order to figure out where my path is in this world, I need to reflect a bit. Traveling is key to personal and global discovery. I have a complete peace and assurance that Semester At Sea is the right first step in my journey. 

While I'm hoping to recieve academic scholarships to fund a portion of my tuition, most of how I'm paying for this (and the extra spending money while traveling) will come from working, working, working this summer. I plan to get multiple jobs but I know even that will only go so far. Please consider donating to my voyage. Everything helps!
