This week’s , we’re featuring Tessa Signor, who recently returned from Semester at Sea Voyage 137! 🌎 During her semester abroad, Tessa traveled the world, experienced new cultures, stepped outside of her comfort zone, and made memories that will last a lifetime. We are so excited to welcome her back to Clemson and hear all about her adventures!
Here’s what Tessa had to say about her experience:
“Hi y’all! My name is Tessa Signor and I was blessed with the opportunity to spend the last semester sailing with Semester at Sea, a study abroad program that allows students to live and learn on a ship traveling from Thailand to Germany, stopping in 10 countries along the way.
I was able to step out of my comfort zone and explore so many new places. Along the way, I met the most incredible people, learned many life lessons, and made amazing memories. I hiked mountains, tried new foods, saw all kinds of animals, jumped out of a plane, and visited my first world wonder. From kayaking in Vietnam, to visiting the Taj Mahal in India, to riding camels in Morocco, I am coming home a changed and better person.
I loved making friends from all over the world, and I now feel that I have a home wherever I go, but I missed the sisterhood that I have in Alpha Phi. How lucky am I to have a group of girls that I have missed so dearly! I can’t wait to come back to Clemson and share my experiences with all of my sisters!! 🩷🩷🩷”
We are so proud of you, Tessa, and the way you represented Alpha Phi around the world. We can’t wait to hear all about your adventures! 🌍✨
