About
Welcome to my blog. I’m Ian Bridges, Morehouse College junior, fortunate enough to have the opportunity to participate in the University of Virginia’s Semester at Sea program.
Originally from Detroit, Michigan, I’m excited to have the opportunity to travel the globe for 104 days and get college credit while doing it! Get a glimpse of my journey as I explore Dominica, Brazil, Ghana, South Africa, Mauritius, India, Singapore, Vietnam, China and Japan. I have every intention of being as visual as possible and plan to put my flip cam and media industry experiences to use, so hopefully after viewing my experiences, you’ll feel like they’re yours…
….and being honest, why wouldn’t you want to witness the adventures of a 20 year old Morehouse College Student as he travels around the world for a semester?
