I hope that Adventure in the Antipodes (an-tip-uh-deez) will chronicle my year as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar.

You may be wondering what Antipodes even means.  It’s a term I came across while reading some literature in preparation for my travel.  Antipodes is a Greek word meaning “having feet opposite”.  The term is now informally used to refer to Australia and New Zealand, islands named such since they’re diametrically opposite Greenwich, England.

Seeing as I’m stationed in Sydney, Australia, during my scholarship, I thought the name was appropriate.

Look around and you’ll find blog updates, book of the month references, photos, and any other service learning insights.  Cheers mate, and I hope you join me on this journey...
