AIP Goes Global!

Everyone can travel – you just have to believe that you can and allow yourself to look through the eyes of a backpacker!

Growing up, Kim and her family had been a guest on our cruises many times. She was especially drawn to the Sealife Encounter. (Biology major, duh.) She later became one of the staff members here at AIP and now she has become a great friend. She has decided to travel the world for the next seventeen months and will be keeping a blog and taking pictures with our globe-trotting AIP cap.

Kim Reuter is a recent Florida State University graduate who likes to backpack. Bilingual in German and English, Kim is a triple threat citizen, UK, USA, and Germany. She will be spending the greater part of her trip trekking through Africa and the Middle-East, with some Asian countries thrown in the mix. As a unique twist she has decided to do the majority of her trip alone!

For the next three months she will be in Equatorial Guinea working as a Biology field assistant, then to South Africa to volunteer for three months doing primate research, and then traveling overland up towards Eqypt and through the Middle East. Along the way, when not observing monkeys, she’ll be volunteering at an orphanage in Tanzania, checking out as many scuba diving locals as possible, and writing about culture faux paus, conservation issues, and human rights topics.
