Morocco Trip Made Dr. Ihab Anwar Learn Valuable Experiences

Dr. Ihab Anwar is a British national who just spent the fall of 2014 on a boat, cruising his way through a genuine life changing experience while also gaining valuable education and credits that are essential to getting his degree. One of the most valuable lessons he gained was in Morocco, where he learned an entirely new way of life that made him realize how truly big the world is.

Before going to Morocco, Ihab Anwar has never been on another continent. He had grown up in the United Kingdom, and has seen many part of Europe, but he had never made outside of the many countries of Europe. Now having stepped or onto Africa soil, he had officially been farther from his home than ever before.

Ihab Anwar spent most of his time in Morocco through exploiting the historic streets of Casablanca. He mingled with locals and learned many things about the language and lifestyle of the Moroccans. He also tried new foods, explored new areas and realized his thirst for adventure had gotten bigger than ever.

Ihab Anwar: Journaling Adventure

The Fall 2014 academic semester was one that Ihab Anwar won’t soon forget, as it provided him the chance to explore the world, Europe and parts of the Bahamas in ways he won’t soon forget. As an eager young participant in a highly-acclaimed Semester at Sea program, Anwar enjoyed exposure to some of the most historic ports, cities and cultures that line the coasts of the Atlantic Ocean, as well as to connect with other aspiring scholars who shared his enthusiasm for learning and for adventure.

The Semester at Sea voyage, which lasted nearly three total months, brought students like Ihab Anwar face-to-face with the cities and destinations that have been so instrumental to the development and direction of human history, particularly during the last 500-600 years. Anwar, along with his fellow shipmates, were honored to have been considered for this wonderful hands-on experience, something that will surely resound in their hearts and minds for many years to come.

Ihab Anwar, like many of his student colleagues, documented his travels in his private journal, one he will now use to generate a paper on the subject in the very near future. His plan, however, is not just to use his writing to produce something academic, but to perhaps even create a short novel detailing his experience, and to do so quickly, while the memories still freshly reside in his mind.

Perhaps even more motivation to write on his experiences is Jenna, a beautiful young student who caught Anwar’s eye very early in the trip. Jenna, who shares Anwar’s love of travel and experience, quickly became the most memorable part of his journey, adding an element of romance to what was an already transcendental experience.

Ihab Anwar: Adventures aboard the MV Explorer

The 2014 Semester at Sea program is an experience Ihab Anwar will look back fondly on for the rest of his life. A three month educational voyage to ports, cities and countries adoring the Baltic Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, respectively, the Semester at Sea adventure exposed Anwar and his classmates to a myriad of sights, cultures and peoples that helped to forever alter their perspective of the world, as well as what it really means to become an active global citizen.

The MV Explorer, a ten-year-old mid-sized cruising vessel, toted both Ihab Anwar and his fellow scholars to ports throughout Europe, Russia and even islands in the Bahamas, exposing each to a wondrous variety of scenic, architectural and historic opportunities rarely found within a classroom setting. Tour Director and History Professor Camron Lodge walked his students through 17 port cities within 15 cities, including the historic St. Petersburg, Russia.

“What an incredible place to be!” exclaimed Ihab Anwar in his journal. “So much color and history in such a vibrant and bustling city!  Mr. Lodge walked us past an almost endless array of grandiose palaces and churches…it was almost too much to handle for such a short stay!”

St. Petersburg was just one of many stops along the way, as Anwar and his group were led through critical port cities in Poland, France, Portugal and even the Bahamas. The voyage, which officially ended in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in December of last year, provided students a unique, eye-opening and even profoundly impactful experience; one that will surely influence and impact who they are for many years to come.

Ihab Anwar: A Short History of Gdansk, Poland

Amongst the many places visited by Ihab Anwar during the Fall 2014 Semester at Sea opportunity was Gdansk, Poland, the birthplace of Poland’s solidarity movement, a revolutionary worker’s union created in the early to mid-1980s. One of the first stops on the Semester at Sea tour, Gdansk offered both Anwar and his fellow students a glimpse into a city, and region, which has struggled with much strife and upheaval throughout the 20th century.

Ihab Anwar UK

 
A studious note-taker, Ihab Anwar paid close attention to lectures Tour Director ‘Mr. Lodge’ delivered during the group’s short journey through Gandsk, which provided everyone involved the opportunity to experience city, and people, admired for their resilience and resistance over the last 100 years. Gdansk, as was explained to the group, was once dominated by the Hanseatics and Prussians, who controlled what was one of the most important and strategic ports in the Baltic region. Once known as Danzig, Gdansk was nearly completely destroyed by bombing raids near the end of WWII. Though the city has since been rebuilt, remnants of the war continue to be visible throughout much of the surrounding region.

Ihab Anwar

Ihab Anwar and his ‘shipmates’ were guided through Gdasnsk’s historical quarter during their brief visit, which, to Anwar at least, was like “walking back through time.” They were then lead to one of the city’s medieval merchant settlements, which, as Mr. Lodge put it, “serves as a powerful reminder of the just how powerful both the city, and the region, were in terms of Eastern European trade throughout much of the last thousand years.

Ihab Anwar - An Experience for the Ages

Ihab Anwar continues to reminisce on last year’s incredible Semester at Sea adventure, one that gave both Anwar and hundreds of his fellow students the opportunity to receive a high-quality education in a unique, hands-on and truly experiential setting. A cruise that takes over three months time, the Institute for Shipboard Education’s Semester at Sea program gives young scholars the chance to experience something truly special; an educational opportunity that encompasses direct contact and experience with cultures, countries and ports that have such important historical value.

Ihab Anwar

Ihab Anwar was selected to participate in the 2014 Fall Semester at Sea program, which set sail from Southampton, England aboard the MV Explorer cruise ship in early September. Dr. Ihab Anwar, along with just over 100 of his fellow young scholars, enjoyed the chance to visit and explore 17 different port cities along the coast of Europe, the Caribbean and the United States, completing their educational adventure last December in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The trip, however, wasn’t merely an extended seagoing jaunt, as every student, including Ihab Anwar, was required to undergo and complete a significant amount of classwork throughout the voyage.

Ihab Anwar : A Tour of Lisbon

One of the most memorable and perhaps even most profound experiences of young Ihab Anwar’s life was the opportunity to participate in his school’s Semester at Sea program; a semester long cruise that provided both Ihab Anwar and his fellow students the opportunity to explore, learn and experience a variety of places, cultures and peoples throughout Europe and the Caribbean. The study abroad program, which is managed by the Institute for Shipboard Education, continues to provide students a wonderful opportunity to learn about the world in ways just not possible in a classroom setting.

Ihab Anwar - Tour of Lisbon

Ihab Anwar, along with hundreds of other aspiring academics, shared in the Fall 2014 Semester at Sea experience, which included stops at 17 total ports located in 15 different countries. Each port, as part of a major internationally-known city, offered students a wonderful opportunity to gain perspective on a new place, a new set of customs and architecture and scenic beauty only available in each unique destination.

One of the best stops, at least according to Dr. Ihab Anwar, was the port of Lisbon, Portugal, a vast cultural hub that has earned international fame, and acclaim, for its incredible array of historic cathedrals, castles and breathtaking layout. Mr. Lodge, the cruise Director, filled the students in on Lisbon’s unique history over the last millennium, including a 17th century earthquake that almost completely destroyed the city for good. 

Anwar and his fellow travelers, eager for adventure, were split into small groups and given the opportunity to explore the several unique sections of the city, including some of the many quaint cafes and charming inns Lisbon is famous for.

Ihab Anwar - A Night in Barbados

Ihab Anwar is a college student at the University of Rhode Island. He spent the entire Fall 2014 semester on board a cruise ship called the MV Explorer, as part of the Semester at Sea program.

The Semester at Sea program takes hundreds of lucky students on an around-the-world voyage intended to expose them to the complexities of the world, and prepare them for leadership roles and to be informed global citizens. The voyage lasted for 108 and visited seventeen cities in fifteen different countries.

Ihab Anwar kept a detailed diary during the trip, and is planning to use it as the basis for a paper he is obliged to write for school. The longest entries in the diary were made on his impressions of the various cities and countries he saw, such as his detailed entry about the Port of Bridgetown in Barbados, where the MV Explorer docked on November 22nd.

“A lot of Brits here,” he noted in the entry. “Barbados, or B’dos as they call it here, was a British territory up until 1966, and the UK influence is still very strong. It is the easternmost of the Caribbean island. Mr. Lodge says that vacationing Brits make up the largest number of visitors to the island every year.” Mr. Lodge is the Semester at Sea Tour Director assigned to the MV Explorer.

“The locals, who Mr. Lodge says are called Bajuns, are very friendly people,” Ihab Anwar wrote. “There is almost no crime here, and me and the other kids felt safe venturing out on our own. That is a violation of the rules, but got away with it. Jenna and I took a long walk on the beach in the afternoon, and she let me hold her hand.” Jenna is an American student he met on the MV Explorer and developed a crush on.
