Saige plans to use her time travelling to not only examine what social justice looks like abroad, but to also experience a life outside of the people and comforts she has been surrounded by since childhood. Whether that be observing race relations in South Africa and Brazil or looking at what it means be a feminist in more religiously conservative places such as Egypt, she is thrilled at the opportunity to challenge her beliefs and gain a greater, more personal, understanding of the world. Her travels will also include Japan, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Peru, Argentina, Ghana, Egypt, and Jordan.
