My Travels
Any vacation that provides me with constant stimulation is my idea of fun (I am not a sit-on-the-beach type of person...I have to be out doing things!).
As a kid, I visited places like Disney World in Florida (May 1982, May 1984, April 1986, May 1988, July 1991), the Bahamas (July 1991), St. Maarten (June 1993) and Bermuda (June 1994) with my parents and brother.
When I was in college, I made my first trip to Europe when I studied abroad in Tübingen, Germany, the summer after my junior year (summer 1996). I made numerous trips back there on my own in the years thereafter to visit friends in Germany and Switzerland in June 1997, August 1998 and June 2003.
I studied abroad again in graduate school, living in London during the summer of 2001 and making side trips to continental Europe during that time. I made another trip back to London in March 2004 with my mom.
In 2007, I was awarded a semester-long sabbatical for the spring 2007 semester when I taught at Pine Manor College and during that time, I traveled around the world as a visiting lecturer on the Semester at Sea voyage. On the voyage, I taught classes called Intercultural Communication, Cinema & National Identity and Mass Media Systems Around the World as the ship visited the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Brazil, South Africa, Mauritius, India, Malaysia, Vietnam (with a side trip to Cambodia), China and Japan. (see my blog from this voyage)
During the summer of 2010, I was fortunate to get another "work trip" when I was offered a job by The Experiment in International Living to lead a group of high school students to the United Kingdom for four weeks (July 2010). Specifically, the program I led was called "United Kingdom: Capturing Britain on Film" and I helped students create a mini-documentary as we traveled throughout the United Kingdom.
