This is part 1 of the inaugural episode of the Exploration-Ed podcast! In this episode, I talk to fellow gap alum and University of Pennsylvania graduate Nicole Brigstock about living close to Cedar Point, her decision to take gap time, and her prior experience traveling before her gap time. We also discuss her time in the Philippines, having the “traditional” college experience from halfway around the world, and her experience with ethical volunteering. <br /><br />If you would like to get in touch with Nicole, you can do so by emailing her at <a href="mailto:nbrigs@sas.upenn.edu">nbrigs@sas.upenn.edu</a>, or @nicolebrigstock on Facebook. <br /><br />If you would like your story featured on the show, please visit explorationed.org or text me at +12198517651.

Part 2: Nicole Brigstock

At Exploration-Ed, telling and sharing stories is our mission. So every Tuesday, that’s what we’ll do. In 30 minutes or less, experience the personal accounts of travelers from all walks of life about their mishaps, memorable moments, takeaways, and so much more.
