Seth Daily

Newcastle Site Director

The Site Director is CIS Abroad's On-Site staff. Their job is to support the CIS Abroad students throughout their on-site study abroad experience. They serve as a cultural liaison, organizing excursions, cultural activities, and providing invaluable guidance on everything from the local cuisine to navigating public transportation. If students run into any issues while abroad - Seth is there to help provide resources and guidance.

Raised in a family that encouraged participation in every activity from baseball to marching band to martial arts (too many for healthy stress levels, in hindsight), Seth was enrolled in every school trip my parents could afford. That early exposure to overseas travel grew into a passion for new and different environments. After high school, Seth followed a path of studies that took him from Los Angeles, where he was raised, through Switzerland to learn French, and finally landed him in Australia, where he now resides with a degree in business and political science. His journey has taught him that besides creating lifetime friendships and unforgettable memories, travel to new cultures brings out our deepest empathies as we see the world from others’ point of view. When more people can have that experience, it’s a step towards making the world a better place.
