I have always loved to travel. There’s something magical about waking up in a new place, hearing a different language, tasting new foods, and discovering how big and beautiful the world truly is. Travel, for me, is more than just visiting destinations—it’s about the adventure, the stories, and the people I meet along the way.

One of my favorite ways to see the world is by going on cruises. There’s a special kind of excitement that comes with standing on the deck of a ship, feeling the sea breeze, and watching the coastline slowly disappear as you head toward a new port. Each day brings a new horizon, a new city to explore, and a new culture to experience.

My connection to cruising goes even deeper because I also worked for NCL Cruise Line. Being part of the crew gave me a whole new perspective on life at sea. I wasn’t just visiting destinations; I was helping others experience the joy of travel and adventure. Working on board meant long days, busy schedules, and hard work—but it also meant unforgettable sunsets, lifelong friendships, and the thrill of waking up in a different part of the world almost every morning.

Through my time with NCL, I met people from all over the world—both guests and fellow crew members. Each person had a unique story, a different background, and their own reason for being on the ship. Those connections made every voyage special, and they reminded me how travel can bring people together, no matter where they come from.

In every place I visit, I look for a bit of adventure—wandering through local markets, trying regional dishes, exploring hidden alleys, or joining tours that take me off the typical tourist path. I enjoy capturing moments with photos, but even more, I love collecting memories: a laugh shared with a stranger, a beautiful sunset over the ocean, or the feeling of stepping onto the streets of a city I’ve always dreamed of seeing.

Traveling and cruising have shaped who I am. Whether I’m exploring as a guest or working behind the scenes on a ship, I feel most alive when I’m out in the world, meeting new people, and discovering new places. I don’t just want to see the world—I want to experience it, one adventure, one conversation, and one destination at a time.
