I've defended my dissertation and graduated with a Ph.D....
And now....?
Semester at Sea is a study abroad program that is unique in that students travel to many countries while living and studying on a converted cruise ship. I have been hired to teach Spanish and do other assorted academic tasks on the ship. Classes are held while we sail from port to port; in each country we have free time to explore at our own pace. Jason will be my "slacker spouse," meaning that he has no official position on the ship. However, he will still be working part-time for his company in Charlottesville and he has signed up to take courses about public health and world cities. I'm sure I can come up with tasks for him if he gets bored.
We're hoping to use this blog to share our experiences and keep in touch as we travel the Atlantic from mid-August until mid-December. Our trip encompasses England, Russia, Germany, Belgium, France, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Ghana, South Africa, Argentina, Brazil, and Cuba, so we're sure to have some adventures!
