After having studied in Europe for fifteen weeks, I was somewhat
skeptical that this short, two week trip to Bermuda could ever be
more rewarding than such an adventure. However, I was completely
wrong and I can confidently say that this trip was more rewarding,
enlightening, and beautiful than my time abroad in this past fall
semester. I have done things here that I never before imagined
possible and learned endless information about sustainability and
socioeconomic issues.
With such a steep pricetag for the credits, I was really hoping I
was going to get my moneyʼs worth in regards to the excursions we
would be taking. I can confidently say that the trips we took will
forever be burned into my memory as one of the best times in my
life. My favorite trip without a doubt was when we went to Nonsuch
Island and then snorkeling short after. Too have some of the most
beautiful and colorful parrotfish swim right up to my face is a
memory that few will ever experience and I am so thankful for this
program presenting me the opportunity for such a thing to occur.
Some other enjoyable adventures for me was the trip to Walsingham,
community service swimming, and lastly the St. Georgeʼs walking
tour.
As long as the days were, having lectures all day on some, I
retained very valuable information from the lecturers. To have some
of the leading activists from this island speak to us on very key
issues was a huge treat and I am completely grateful for their
finding time to present to us.
As stressful as this trip was at times, the joy and happiness that
I had from the trips and the lectures has made this adventure worth
every penny. I will forever remember this two week period as one of
the greatest times in my life. Thank you so much professor for
making such a program available and I hope to keep in touch. Thanks
so much.
