Semester At Sea
When I began planning for the Semester at Sea Spring 2017, I knew that I wanted to share my passion for exploration and adventure with young children. I will be providing photo galleries and short videos sharing the experience of living on a boat for 4.5 months and learning about 1`1 countries in 100 days as we travel around the world.
Itinerary
We started our voyage in San Diego, California on January 2 when all of the teachers met to get on the boat. We will spent three days getting ready for the students who came to the boat on January 5.
Our first trip will be about 5 days long. We traveled from the Pacific Coast of California to the island of Hawaii.
Learning at Sea
Shipboard we had classes and lectures. Once in port, we had the opportunity for hands-on experiences, service learning and time for exploration.
Life at Sea
Living on a boat was fun. There were over 500 students and 40 faculty on the boat. We each had small spaces where we live. In addition, we had classes on the boat every day.
We learned about the places where we will be traveling so that we know about them when we arrive.
Little Backpackers
Semester at Sea encourages faculty, staff and students to mentor young future travelers. "
Little Backpackers" is a name that I have given this section where I made mini videos (2-3 minutes) for pre-school children to learn more about travel and the world.
