This episode of Voyage of Rediscovery features Meiken Greenamyre.
Back in 1998, we knew her as Meiken Mulder, and she was a student at Arizona State University.
Originally from Edina, MN, Meiken shares how her experience on Semester at Sea still helps her relate to people today—particularly those from overseas. Meiken also touches on which ports of call influenced her the most, and marvels at how we got around anywhere without Google Translate.
Hop on board everyone, the ship is leaving.

Additional notes
Please excuse the quality of the footage of Meiken. The technology we used to record our conversation compressed the final product. We attempted to improve the output in post- production as best we could. Portions featuring Alexander Kotler were recorded locally, via webcam, which resulted in a higher resolution recording.
This program also includes limited scenes from the original Fall 1998 participant video, photographed and edited by Skye Fitzgerald and executive produced by Marlin Darrah.
