Travel Perspectives, Attitude, and Faith

I thank God for my eventful, challenging and fun three months work (and counting) aboard Norwegian Jewel.

Life is not definitely a bed of roses here but whenever I’m tired, lonely, and homesick, I just remind myself of the blessings that God has showered me since I started working here. 

So far, I’m blessed to have visited these wonderful places:

• 8 countries: U.S., Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Colombia (Cartagena), Panama, Alaska, Canada (British Columbia)

• 6 Mexico Islands: Costa Maya, Cozumel, Huatulco, Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta

• 3 Alaska Cities: Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway

• 4 U.S. States: New Orleans LC, San Diego CA, San Francisco CA, Seattle WA

We cannot have it all. There’s always responsibilities and unpleasant situations that come with having some of our goals and dreams achieved. What will make a big difference in where and how we will be in the future is determined by our perspective, attitude and faith.
