As I alluded to in a previous post, talking about the Cruise Ship Life has become less interesting to me. It's been a few years now that I've been working on ships, and it's starting to become everyday. Yes, still exotic and adventurous to most, but to me, mundane. As a result, I write about it less. There's the occasional day of visiting mosques and palaces in the Sultanate of Brunei, or of scuba diving with hammerhead sharks in Fiji, but the rest has started to become ordinary. And this is an adventure blog.
So I have to keep finding adventures to go on, and ways to report on them. And keep finding the inspiration to write about things.
My lack of posts is an indication to myself that I'm losing that sense of adventure in my job. I work on cruise ships based out of Australia, visiting mainly New Zealand (renowned for playing the part of exotic and dramatic Middle Earth), but also paying calls to Fiji, New Caledonia, Vanuatu (where is Vanuatu anyway?!), Papeete, Bora Bora, Brunei, Malaysia, Hong Kong, etc.
But I've done all that before. And when Brunei and the Great Barrier Reef and Hong Kong become commonplace, something's wrong.
So I'm off to remedy that boredom. Time to change it up again.
Up next: coordinating logistics for hospitals in war zones.
Yep, you read that right folks. Hospitals, logistics, war zones. Check out Doctors Without Borders (MSF).
Who's got two thumbs and will be a field logistician for MSF this year? This girl.
Stay tuned for the next chapter. But in the meantime, a road trip up and down the East Coast of the USA, a scuba dive vacation in Belize and a jaunt through Sicily. And I need to buy a futon.
