This episode has a little twist to it. Instead of inviting a special guest to talk about the behind the scenes of their career, I share one of my favorite past jobs; working (and surviving) on a Norwegian Cruise Line ship! At nineteen, I flew across the country to live on a giant vacationing vessel and voyage around the Hawaiian islands. I hope my stories about serving in the restaurant department, living off peanut butter sandwiches, and training with the U.S. Coast Guard excites you. If you've been looking for the perfect road trip podcast, this is it! Get ready to laugh, cry, and apply to work on a cruise ship yourself, because it truly was "the life."
