R.A.T. Your Rodent Around-the-World Traveler (a.k.a. Raz)

Hi, My name is R.A.T., which stands for Rodent Around-the-World Traveler (I like to think it stands for Rodent Adventure Traveler), but everyone here calls me Raz for short. I would love to share my adventures with you. I left my rat family in early January to seek adventure. Everyone said "head west young rat," so that is what I did. I headed west to San Diego, California where I ran out of land and had to hop on a ship to continue my journey. It turns out that the ship I found was going west around the world--a dream come true! The MV Explorer is home to the famous Semester at Sea study abroad program. My shipmates include 629 college students and about 150 faculty, staff, lifelong learners, and family members. Things are really busy here on the ship and even busier when we are in port. Come follow me vicariously as I take this incredible journey. Yours, R.A.T.

P.S. I had such a great time on the voyage that the adventure continues!!!!

Burma - Ballooning over Pagan

Our next stop was Burma (a.k.a. Myanmar).One of my favorite place we went, especially going in a hot air balloon over the historic site of Pagan, where we had a bird's-eye view of lots of amazing temples.

Here's a rat's-eye view of the temple!

And another one of the 100s of temples in Pagan.

Some of the temples house huge statues of Buddha like this one which is all covered in gold!
Here I am at the first temple again.

And a close up!
