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!!!!

RAT in the World: Ghana

Busy street in Ghana.
 
Visited Wli Waterfall, the tallest and highest waterfall in Ghana.
 
Also visited Afadjato (also known as Mount Afadja), the highest mountain in Ghana.
 
 
Hmm, do I need a pop talk to climb it? 
I did need the pep talk. It was really steep and slippery!!! Almost there!
 

Made it!!!
Well worth the effort!

 
I'm sharing!!! 
 

I tried to share with him.
 
A little dancing in celebration!
 

Next adventure. A tree canopy walk at Kakum Conservation Area.
 
It's a long way down!!! 
 
A sadder chapter of world history. The Slave Castles along the coast of Ghana.

 
So many left Africa from here never to return. 
 

Feeling free along the coast.


He looks pretty friendly. They--not so much!!!

Time for a bit of R&R.
