Email will be the easiest way to reach me. I am provided with a free shipboard account so using this email address will not take away from my meager 100 minutes of internet use.

Phone
There is an onboard phone service, but calls cost $2.50 per minute. Please don't call me.
Snail Mail
Please note that mail service is unreliable in many of the countries we are going to. As such, Semester at Sea recommends using a courier that will provide a guaranteed delivery date and tracking number. Also please limit mail to postcards and letters. If I receive any packages, I will be charged $50.00.
