| Semester at Sea Chronicles |Cochin, India | | October 25, 2017 | Exploring Cochin | Ever wondered what it’s like to explore a foreign country in the back of a tiny, sometimes questionable vehicle? Let me tell you, its EXHILERATING! It was a tight fit seating three SASers in the back of the tuk-tuk. We spent the day hoping in and out of our new favorite mode of transportation, exploring Kochi, India. The drivers served as tour directors, sharing history and stories about each location. The streets were narrow and crowded with tuk-tuk drivers speeding around corners, weaving in and out of one of another. It might shave a few years of your life, but I firmly believe that everyone should travel via tuk-tuk at least once in their life. #Travel #Traveling #Explore #Wanderlust #Travelgram #RoundTheWorld #trip #voyage #adventure #studyabroad #semesteratsea #sasfall2017 #geotourism #natgeotravel #nationalgeographic #yourshotphotographer #lifeisgood #natgeotravelpic #natgeotraveler #semesteratseachronicles #tuktuk #India #Kochi (at Kochi, India)

| Semester at Sea Chronicles | Indian Ocean | AND WE’RE BACK! Finals are over and graduation was a success. After spending a little bit of time in the desert this past week, I’m really missing the ocean and the adventures the MV World Odyssey gifted us SASholes. I can’t possibly imagine a better way to dive back into Semester at Sea Chronicles than sharing one of my favorite onboard memories. It’s safe to say we couldn’t have asked for a better view.   Video: Carley Somers #Travel #Traveling #Explore #Wander #Wanderlust #Travelgram #RoundTheWorld #trip #voyage #adventure #studyabroad #semesteratsea #sasfall2017 #geotourism #natgeotravel #nationalgeographic #yourshotphotographer #lifeisgood #natgeotravelpic #natgeotraveler #semesteratseachronicles #sunset #indianocean #nofilter (at Indian Ocean)

| Semester at Sea Chronicles | Langa Township, South Africa | October 11, 2017 | Langa Township and Happy Feet Youth Project | I vividly remember sitting in awe, cross-legged on uneven concrete, snuggled by children too young to perform, consuming the performance unfolding in front of us. I have never smiled more in my life. This experience has held a special place in my heart, and I am delighted to finally share it with you. #Travel #Explore #Wanderlust #Travelgram #adventure #studyabroad #semesteratsea #sasfall2017 #geotourism #natgeotravel #nationalgeographic #yourshotphotographer #lifeisgood #natgeotraveler #semesteratseachronicles #SouthAfrica #Langa #township #Langatownship #townshiptourism #propoortourism #happyfeetyouthproject #dance #happyfeet #responsibletourism (at Happy Feet Youth Project)

| Semester at Sea Chronicles | Cape Town, South Africa | October 11, 2017 | Table Mountain | Time constraints kept us from hiking back down the mountain. Our only other option was the Table Mountain Ariel Cableway. The cable car offers unique 360 degrees of the area as the interior cabin floors rotate. My friends were excited for the ride down. I, on the other hand, was terrified. I stood in the very center of the cable car on the small section of the floor that didn’t rotate. I grabbed a pole, and held on, white knuckles, for the entire ride down. The cable car conductor laughed at me, and offered reassurance when we were close to the ground. I’m only smiling in this picture because my feet were finally back on solid ground. And I guess hiking Table Mountain with my friends was pretty cool too. #Travel #Traveling #Explore #Wander #Wanderlust #Travelgram #RoundTheWorld #trip #voyage #adventure #studyabroad #semesteratsea #sasfall2017 #geotourism #natgeotravel #nationalgeographic #yourshotphotographer #lifeisgood #natgeotravelpic #natgeotraveler #semesteratseachronicles #tablemountain #hike (at Cape Town, Western Cape)

| Semester at Sea Chronicles | Stellenbosch, South Africa | October 10, 2017 | Wine Country | GIRLS TRIP! We traveled from Cape Town to Stellenbosch to treat ourselves and tour the wineries and vineyards. The views were impeccable, the red wine terrible, and the white wine to die for.

| Semester at Sea Chronicles | Cape Town, South Africa | October 8, 2017 | Table Mountain | I’m honestly not sure what’s cooler: Table Mountain or this group of incredible women I get to call my friends.   #Travel #Traveling #Explore #Wander #Wanderlust #Travelgram #RoundTheWorld #trip #voyage #adventure #studyabroad #semesteratsea #sasfall2017 #geotourism #natgeotravel #nationalgeographic #yourshotphotographer #lifeisgood #natgeotravelpic #natgeotraveler #semesteratseachronicles #tablemountain (at South Africa, Cape Town)

As a part of the Table Mountain National Park Marine Protected Area, the beach remains in pristine condition for visitors and local wildlife. A main attraction of Boulders Beach is the African Penguins, previously known as Jackass Penguins. The boardwalks were crowded with tourist’s eager to observe the penguins sunbathing in their habitat.   #Travel #Traveling #Explore #Wander #Wanderlust #Travelgram #RoundTheWorld #trip #voyage #adventure #studyabroad #semesteratsea #sasfall2017 #geotourism #natgeotravel #nationalgeographic #yourshotphotographer #lifeisgood #natgeotravelpic #natgeotraveler #semesteratseachronicles #africanpenguin #bouldersbeach #penguin (at Boulders Beach Simonstown)

| Semester at Sea Chronicles | Cape Town, South Africa | October 9, 2017 | Seal Island & Penguin Colony | We began our day traveling to Hout Bay. We sailed out to Duiker Island to observe the Cape Fur Seals in their natural habitats. Due to nature of the weather, the waves provided a particular balancing challenge. From fear of dropping my camera into the ocean, I decided to leave my camera in my pack. While I was unable to capture any pictures of seals,  I was able to snag a few photos of the surrounding beauty of Hout Bay, Sentinel Mountain, and the Atlantic Seaboard.   #Travel #Traveling #Explore #Wander #Wanderlust #Travelgram #RoundTheWorld #trip #voyage #adventure #studyabroad #semesteratsea #sasfall2017 #geotourism #natgeotravel #nationalgeographic #yourshotphotographer #lifeisgood #natgeotravelpic #natgeotraveler #semesteratseachronicles #houtbay #sentinelmountain #capefurseals #atlanticseaboard (at Sentinel Mountain)
