So a new adventure...

Well it's been a while since my last post, but I think you'll be excited to hear that I'm doing another experience abroad. This time I will be participating on a Semester at Sea (SAS) program. 7 countries in Central America and the Caribbean in 26 days. I'm thrilled for this exciting opportunity, and it starts in less than 9 days! I have completed my freshman year, where I started swimming again and am pursuing a double major. My freshman year has certainly taught me a lot about myself and others. Now I feel this SAS program is going to bring even more new experiences and shed new light through this voyage travelling to the Bahamas, Trinidad, Panamá, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, and Belize. I'm taking a course about Humanitarian Engineering and a seminar called "Engineering a New Tomorrow" while on the program, and I'm looking forward to learning more about the subject material because I'm not exactly sure what will be in store. This is a part of the world, with which I'm not very familiar, but hopefully my years of Spanish classes will help to guide me through this cultural enrichment. My goal to update this blog during my time abroad, but I cannot guarantee how the internet connection will be on the ship. We will have to wait and see! I'm glad to have you along for the ride. :)

Cheers,
Matt
