This content, sourced from 11 different countries, highlighted the diverse cultural experiences of students participating in the multi-country study abroad program, effectively showcasing the global learning aspect of Semester at Sea.

My Semester at Sea experience during the Fall 2023 voyage has profoundly shaped my identity and outlook on life. Embarking on this transformative journey fulfilled my lifelong dream of sailing the world with Semester At Sea / ISE, instigating a whirlwind of growth and self-discovery.
As we navigated through unexpected challenges like natural disasters and geopolitical unrest, the resilient spirit of our community aboard the M.V World Odyssey became a beacon of resilience and adaptability. Despite the unforeseen detours, each port we visited - from the bustling streets of Cape Town, South Africa to the serene waters of Mauritius - left an indelible mark on my soul.
I emerged from this 105-day odyssey not only as an Emerald Shellback but also as a changed individual, armed with a comparative understanding of global cultures and a newfound clarity on my path forward in this world.
