To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Circumnavigator Club Foundation, we have compiled Around the World for 40 Years. Read reflections from many of our scholars on how their travels have influenced their lives in this PDF.
Excerpts:
“My circumnavigation opportunity was probably the best educational experience of my life… it taught me life lessons about the value of other beliefs and cultures, the wonders of friendship and hospitality, and the blessings of being a U.S. Citizen.” — Hank Shea
“The gift to travel the globe, alone, at such a young age, and with such latitude, was nothing short of magical, transformative, and enlightening. A formative experience, personally and professionally.” — Elspeth Williams
“I will continue to practice the thread I found common to success as I circumnavigated the globe: focus and persistence, patience and cultural sensitivity, a commitment to carrying out plans with diligence while remaining open to new ideas…” — Ruth Barnhouse Story
“The world suddenly became a global community, less divided and compartmentalized in my mind reinforcing the concept of a global citizenry of which I now feel a part. The people I met and the stories I heard about life in places I may never return to will always stay with me and are a major motivation to work in public service at an international level…” — Daniel P. Dozier
