Perú: Brittany C. Ross ’08

This summer changed my life. On the heels of my 29th birthday in January 2015, I decided to truly live the last year of my twenties to the fullest. I quit my job in Washington, DC, and spent the rest of 2015 traveling as much of the world as my pockets and time would allow. One of my favorite experiences was backpacking through the beautiful country of Perú with fellow Clemson alumna Soumyer Iyer ’07. We saw everything from the wetlands of the northern Amazon to the deserts of the south. The land, people and food restored in me an even greater spirit of gratitude for life. I couldn’t climb Machu Picchu and NOT represent my Clemson Tigers while showing off my Clemson volleyball vertical (which was much higher when I actually played, haha). Nonetheless, GO TIGERS!

As a Clemson Women’s Rugby alumna, I’ve been waiting four years for the chance to go to the Rugby World Cup and visit England for the first time. I had the opportunity to see my favorite team, the Australia Wallabies, play two of the biggest matches in the tournament. I also got to see USA play South Africa. This photo is from the Australia vs. England match, where the Wallabies knocked the host nation out of the tournament.

In the cockpit: Perry Brown ’81

While waiting for my plane to arrive, I walked through the gate area and noticed the young man with the Clemson hat. They were from Buffalo, NY, and he was a huge Clemson fan because Sammy Watkins and CJ Spiller were playing for the Bills. I had them come into the cockpit prior to departure for some photos.
