I (not pictured) quit my full-time job in New York City to work onboard a cruise ship.
  • Years ago, I quit my desk job in NYC to work as an entertainment host for a major cruise line.
  • The first few weeks were overwhelming, but I quickly adjusted to the lifestyle.  
  • The living quarters were incredibly small, and there were mandatory weekly inspections.  

After I graduated from college with a journalism degree, I got a job at a highly regarded publication in New York City.
