2: Semester at Sea Fall (August - December) '03
Ok, it totally deserves its own pin! While I was in college, I went on Semester at Sea (F'03 - oh yeah!) and circumnavigated the globe:
Left from Vancouver, Canada
-->Kobe, Japan
-->Hong Kong (China - SAR)
-->Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
-->Bangkok, Thailand
-->Chennai, India
-->Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
-->Cape Town, South Africa
-->Salvador, Brazil
-->Havana, Cuba (where Fidel gave us a sweet speech...for 4.5 hours!)
and then back to Florida!
It was the most influential trip of my life!

I picked up and moved to Ireland with a 4-month student work permit, and $400 to my name. I bartended in an old castle-turned-hotel, waitressed, worked in a store - and traveled!

Aching to travel, I picked up and moved to Hawaii, where I worked in the restaurants, hostessing and waitressing, rode my baby blue moped around, and lazed on the beach. It was wonderful, but I soon missed intellectual stimulation!

After Hawaii, I headed to New Zealand, where I lived in a van for a month, traveling the South Island. Out of money, I then lived in Wellington for 6 months, where I worked many government jobs, including for then Prime Minister Helen Clark.

Post-NZ, I traveled through Asia, spent a month or so home on the West Coast, and then made my way to Cambridge, MA. I attended Lesley University from 2008-2010, earning a M.A. in Intercultural Relations. While in Cambridge, I held a few office jobs including an Executive Assistant position at a law firm (CTI, LLP), Special & Administrative Projects Manager at Lesley University, and I volunteered at the non-profit International Center for Conciliation.

After Berlin, I traveled a bit through Sweden and Peru, and then slowly made my way back west to live near my family. I held an amazing position working as a Program Coordinator for Azumano International, where I managed the international exchange of 8 Japanese University students.

In NYC, I was thriving on the energy of the city; involved and engaged with international affairs and development. I worked varying contract positions during the day, ranging from government to sports and finance, and at nights and on the weekends was engaged with the United Nations and its respective affiliations. I relished in the numerous restaurants in the city, and, being a night owl, the nightlife catered nicely to my sleeping schedule! I also managed to play quite a bit of beach volleyball in Central Park, one of my favorite places in the world!

I then got the opportunity of a lifetime, to get back on Semester at Sea! I worked as the Outreach Coordinator, marketing the program and recruiting international students in our 16 stops in 12 different countries! I also had the pleasure of working with the international interport students, managing the Global Ambassadors Program, and also the Vicarious Voyage Program!
