Creator's Key Takeaways

i grew up in texas i'm a texas girl for those of you that don't know me

i started with norwegian cruise line in january of 1993 and you know after all of that you know it was said and done i had told my my dad i was going for a summer you know maybe a semester and then i would go back and get my master's degree but i was hooked

i have been to 48 of the 50 states in the u.s the only two states i have not been to is north dakota south dakota

it's no longer oh my god because before it was just more and more more right for years that's been tourism and before the pandemic we had started having that conversation about sustainable tourism and stewardship
