My Travel Story

by: Maddie Heyde Start Date: Oct 17, 2016 - End Date: Oct 16, 2017
Hey everyone, thanks for checking out my page. I’m planning on studying abroad through Semester at Sea on their Spring 2018 voyage. I am considering International Studies as my major, and I know that this trip will help me expand my horizons for the future. “Semester at Sea’s passenger ship is outfitted as a globe-exploring university; a living-learning community that provides a platform for discussion, coursework and deep connections all while traveling to new locations. Every aspect of the shipboard learning experience encourages discovery and growth.” With a campus that moves, the ship creates opportunities to learn without wasting a moment during travel. I will be able to complete a full semester of classes on board, while also having the opportunity to apply what I'm learning in class to real life situations around the world.

Being the oldest of 9 kids, my family and I cannot fund this trip alone. I will be working multiple jobs and applying for several scholarships but I will still be considerably far from the overall cost of the trip. Donations would be greatly appreciated. It’s an expensive program but the experience will be priceless. Semester at Sea itineraries are carefully planned to achieve a comparative global education. With distinctive destinations planned for each voyage, I will be able to connect the world’s people, patterns, cultures, and traditions. Please help me live out this amazing learning opportunity.

102 Days, 11 Countries, 15 Cities, 4 Continents
