YouTube Video Description↓

For the last interview of the year, I am so happy that my friends have agreed to be interviewed. A slightly earlier time of 8 am UK time which is 6 pm in Australia. Kevin & Gabriela have had a long and successful career on Cruise ships. They met onboard, fell in love, married and moved to Australia. Working on a Cruise ship truly does change your life. What an amazing way to end the year and talk to a fantastic couple who will be seeing in the New Year before any of us. Join us to ask questions, say hi and wish all your friends and family a Happy New year.
