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 teenager, I visited places like Florida, the Bahamas, St. Maarten and Bermuda with my family.
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) and made numerous trips back there on my own in the years thereafter to visit friends. 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.
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)
