Cruising isn’t just a vacation for me—it’s a passion that has shaped the way I see the world. From my very first sailing on Voyager of the Seas in 2004 to my most recent adventures, I’ve fallen in love with the way the ocean connects people and cultures. Each port of call offers a new opportunity to learn, to experience traditions different from my own, and to build friendships across borders. I believe travel is one of the most powerful ways to unite people, which is why I live by the quote: “In the diversity of our journeys, be the link of connection.” Whether I’m exploring vibrant cities, sampling local flavors, or simply watching the horizon from the deck, cruising reminds me that every journey—no matter where it leads—has the potential to connect us all.
