My Travel Story

by: Stephanie Silvar Start Date: Apr 18, 2017 - End Date: Aug 17, 2017
One of the reasons I decided to attend the University of San Diego was because of the ability to travel abroad. Most students at USD travel abroad at least once during their undergraduate degree and I knew that traveling abroad to study was one of my greatest goals and I would do anything to make it a reality. I have met various students who have gone to the Semester at Sea program who have absolutely loved it. They mention that it was a life changing voyage. The main reason I wish to study abroad is to learn from different cultures and open my mind to the endless possibilities there re in the world. Coming to USD, I have already learned so much from people who are much more different than me. I attended a high school that was not diverse and I only met people who were just like me, therefore coming here was a very different experience and I loved learning that I didn’t know as much as I thought about other cultures. It is amazing to learn from others but I now wish to learn from others in their native lands and learn about their families and their traditions and hopefully become a citizen of the world through this experience.
