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!!!!

South Africa - Lions and Zebras and Giraffes Oh My! -- Part 1



In South Africa we went to Kapama an animal preserve. We drove around in a large open air vehicle. We saw lots of zebras like these.

WE saw lions like this sleeping one.
Her sister was jealous since she was sleeping in the good spot and woke her up.

These guys just crashed in the road.

This giraffe came by to say "hi"!


These guys were putting on a good show of mock fighting. They swing their necks around each other.


We also saw some huge rhinos.
