by: Olivia Sucico - United StatesProgram: Seamester: Transpacific, Fiji to Bali - 80 Days
9

I sailed with Sea|messter for 3 months from Fiji to Palau and Indonesia. I joined the boat with no sailing or scuba experience and ended up a rescue diver with multiple sailing certifications. All the staff and students were so friendly and the 22 strangers that I met on day one turned into a tight-knit family that was impossible to say goodbye to on day 80. The program is definitely challenging and will push you out of your comfort zone with long-passage and some rough nights but I now look back on those as some of my fondest memories. The boat transforms into a home with people who were put together by chance and now know some of the strangest stories about each other's lives. Nothing can ever beat the feeling of jumping off the boat to swim with manta rays just feet from our floating home or back-rolling off the dinghies to scuba dive across the equator or helming through 360-degree sunrises and sunsets in the middle of the ocean with some of your closest friends. This experience teaches you to be comfortable going outside your comfort zone and to always say yes, it may just turn into one of the best memories of your life.

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Bali

Subjects & Courses

Denpasar is the largest city on Bali island and home to Udayana University, the largest and most well established university on the island, which happens to be the most popular destination for studying abroad in Bali. The school is spread across three campuses around the city. Udayana offers a wide range of courses for students from a variety of fields of study.

Asian Studies. Udayana is the organizer of the Bali International Program on Asian Studies (BIPAS), a program that is specifically tailored for foreign students. Areas of study within the program include technology, business, political science, and tourism management, all with a primary focus on Asian culture.

International Relations & Business. Both international relations and business are popular areas of study in Bali, again these courses are primarily provided by Udayana University and have a strong concentration on Southeast Asia. All courses at Udayana University are instructed in English, except for language classes of course.

Indonesian Culture & Language. Finally, there is always the opportunity to learn about the local ways of life through studying in Bali. Language courses in Bahasa Indonesia are available through Udayana University as well as through several language schools spread across the island. With the abundance of bilingual locals working in the tourism industry on the island, students studying the Indonesian language in Bali will find themselves in a fantastic place to practice their skills in the local community. There are also many study abroad programs in Bali that focus on exploring Indonesian culture, and some even allow students to visit various areas around the island.

Conservation. Due to the high demand and profitability of the tourism industry, programs focused on conserving the island’s natural environment are not uncommon. Conservation study abroad programs in Bali focus on sustainable practices that can help preserve Bali’s natural beauty without hindering the tourism industry, as well as teaching local communities effective conservation strategies.
