Creator's Key Takeaways
I don't know how to explain this without sounding dramatic, but we had some of the best meals of our entire lives in Singapore.
One of the best things about working on ships is the people that you meet along the way.
Elephants never forget. That's the thing people always say. But what Stephanie pointed out, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about since, is how they forgive.
The ship spent $65 million on work that most people will never see or think about. But every passenger who sails on her benefits from it, whether they know it or not.

Inside The Music - my vlog about all things relating to my multi-faceted music career and my life in general. Takes place March 2, 2026 (Actually published June 5, 2026) After four months performing aboard the Carnival Encounter, Stephanie and I finally had a few weeks off between contracts. Instead of flying straight home, we packed our bags and headed to Thailand. Over the next 12 days, we explored temples in Chiang Mai, wandered through Bangkok, relaxed on the islands of southern Thailand, went scuba diving, ate more incredible food than we can count, and spent time reconnecting after months of life at sea. But this trip became about more than just sightseeing. Cruise ship life is incredible, but it also means saying goodbye to friends, living far from family, and constantly moving from one chapter to the next. This adventure gave us a chance to slow down, reflect, and remember why we chose this life in the first place. We hope you enjoy coming along for the journey.
