In celebration of ONE YEAR since departing for my voyage around the world with Peace Boat, I thought I would share this video I made as part of a fun way to remember my trip… I was only using my iPhone for ‘equipment’, so it was impossible to play the song and film simultaneously; IContinue reading “Happy Anniversary — A Peace Boat version of “This is the New Year””

From Yokohama to Manzanillo
Not done yet, but because I havent had any time to make individual posts, I thought I would give you an idea of the past 85 days on Peace Boat. Enjoy!
Half-way Around the World [in Riga]
Well, here it is — day 52, the mid-way point of my round-the-world voyage with Peace Boat. As predicted, I have definitely lagged behind in the blog updates, but as I’m sure you could have guessed, it is because life on board, and in port, has been pretty non-stop. But I have just found aContinue reading “Half-way Around the World [in Riga]”

The reason that this was even more pronounced was because instead of having free time in this port, I was the leader of a “challenge program”. The challenge consisted of touring around Singapore, based on what the group wanted to do,Continue reading “Singapore – Small country; HUGE city”
HK
Hong Kong was an awesome first port! I had heard many great things about Hong Kong from friends and my mom (although her experience was dated by about 30 years), I still was not quite sure what to expect and originally, did not have any specific plans. However, I found an HK travel partner inContinue reading “HK”
Departure from the Real World
**Well, this is 28 days late… SO sorry for the delay, everyone. But I have not had a moment’s rest since we left Yokohama on April 1st. But for this very limited time that I have sitting in a shisha cafe in Port Said, Egypt, I am going to try to do a bit ofContinue reading “Departure from the Real World”
