Originally from the Philippines and now living in South Africa with his family, Archie worked with me on two of my contracts back in the mid to late noughties.

He was the face of the ship in many ways as not only did he work on the reception desk, but he always carried a smile with him everywhere he went, making him one of the most popular crew members onboard the now deceased, Thompson Destiny.

Archie and I had lot's to catch up on, had a really lovely chat, and his career trajectory is one I wasn't even fully aware of.
