Audrey’s Daily Life Aboard the MV World Odyssey

T-shirts, shorts and flip flops were my daily attire. 

What do you like to do in your free time?:

We had a lot of free time on the ship, so I would watch movies with friends, play card games and look for dolphins. 

What language(s) do you speak? How do you say "Hello" in your language?:

I speak English and I am trying to learn French! Bonjour, Je m'appelle Audrey. Our ship had students from across the world, and it was awesome to hear different accents and languages being spoken. 

Do you have pets?:

Sadly, no pets were allowed on the ship. Sometimes birds would travel across the ocean with us and rely on us to get to and from the land. 

Have you traveled? Where have you traveled to?:

Our ship left from Ensenada, Mexico to Hawaii, Japan, Vietnam, Mauritius and then South Africa. It would take 3-14 days to get from country to country. 

What do you do for work?:

I was a Resident Assistant on the ship, so I would help plan events like talent shows, career fairs, mixers and more. 

Is there anything else you would like to say to students in the United States?:

If you've ever been on a cruise or another boat, you know what seasickness is like. I adjusted after about three days and finally got my sea legs. Living on a ship is awesome, but sometimes it is scary to only see the ocean everywhere you look. At one point when we were past Hawaii, the closest humans to us were ones on the International Space Station...all the way in outer space!
