| Celebrating the end of the world with one of my good friends! |
Hello all! My name is Kevin Thor and I am a sophomore
Business Administration and Finance major with Accounting and Communication
minors. I am 19 years old and originally from Stanton, Nebraska (more commonly
known as a small town by Norfolk, 2 hours away). This is my 3rd
online class, so I have had some experience! I chose to take intercultural
communications because I have a passion for traveling and thought it would be
an interesting course to learn more about the different styles of communication
with a variety of areas and people. As I continue to travel throughout my life
I would like to have some more information and ideas on communication styles
around the world.

I have a ton of interests, but primarily have a passion for
traveling, helping others and networking, and leadership opportunities. I also
love photography! I have traveled to most of the U.S. (only 12 states left!)
with my favorite city being Boston. I have been there 4 times, love the culture
and everything to see there and have a few good friends in the area to visit! I’ve
done road trips to Boston & NYC, Panama City, Padre, and L.A., with my next
one to the northwest coast this summer – San Francisco up to Vancouver. I’ve
been to Canada and the United Kingdom, also, and am participating in a Semester
at Sea in Fall 2013 to 16 countries across Europe, Africa, and South America - going
to be one heck of a cruise!

Besides traveling, I am a speech coach at Lincoln Southwest
and involved in many groups on campus. I keep really busy and I enjoy all of
it! My photography interest really came in once I started traveling; I am always
really inspired by all the natural beauty and different places to see outside
of the small town life I grew up in.
I am looking forward to this class and hope to gain more
knowledge and appreciation for different cultures I will experience in my
traveling adventures.

Welcome to the class! YOur love of photography will definitely come in handy with our blog and video assignments. I also think that we can drawn on your love of traveling with the cultural reporter project! Your upcoming semester at sea trip sounds amazing.
