Hack. When she was growing up, Alyssa loved space camps. In 2014, she was the first ever person to complete the "NASA Passport Program" visiting each of NASA's fourteen visitor centers across nine states. "I had originally gone to the space camp in Huntsville, Alabama, in the US. They had someone from Space Camp Turkey...it sounded pretty exciting to go over to Space Turkey. So I ended up doing that...It was much more international. And that was really exciting, I was the only American there. I think we had kids from like 15 different countries." Alyssa enjoyed travelling the world whilst learning about her number one passion and meeting like minded people from various places. She says Space Camp was "heavily emphasized on international friendship"
