Ghana-by Tate
Ghana is an interesting stop, to say the least. Of the countries we are visiting I think the fewest people on the ship have been to. By 2020 Ghana is striving to become the first developed country in west Africa. Currently, I’m not very confident that is going to happen. One of their largest issues is the GDP per capita, it’s only $1,000 USD a year. Day one my dad had a field class with his Social and Sustainable Venturing class. The course had a focus on the global chocolate industry, so they went to a Cocoa plantation. One of … Continue reading Ghana-by Tate

Myanmar Magic- By Christy
Honestly, not much was “known” about Myanmar before our ship arrived. It was a place that held some secrets, therefore becoming magical. Even our shipboard community was somewhat in the dark about the magic that we would discover there. … Continue reading Myanmar Magic- By Christy
Myanmar-By Tate
Myanmar was spectacular. It is a land of temples and shrines and of elephants and gold. It really is a hidden paradise. Myanmar is the second poorest country in Asia, though it’s hard to tell considering all the gold they … Continue reading Myanmar-By Tate

This country held too many magical moments to be able to organize all of my thoughts. Vietnam was tropical, festive, open, rustic and modern, polished and developing. It felt happy. Colorful. And warm. It was hot. And, the people were … Continue reading Vietnam!!-By Christy
