Creator's Key Takeaways

I thought the itinerary was fantastic and just for context for anyone else on the chat this was a 14-day southeast Asia cruise that started in Taiwan and went to Philippines and Malaysia berai Vietnam and then ended in Singapore it was incredible

I am comfortable doing third party excursions but I have never been to Asia before so I wasn't really sure what reputable um third- party companies there were

I would just say don't be it's very freeing and just think about how you can be on your own schedule and do anything you want without anyone pressuring you to do otherwise

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book solo cabins on Norwegian for the best availability and pricing
Practice vlogging at home to get comfortable with the camera
Schedule cruises over holidays and weekends to maximize PTO
