Creator's Key Takeaways
It's not about what we do as much as why it enables our life at sea to be the best it can be while we're living on a cruise ship.
When you live on a cruise ship, you have this constant internal battle between choosing discipline and immediate gratification.
We believe and we absolutely recommend to anybody that will talk to us that you do these things because it really sets your day off with focus and positivity.
One of the perks of living on Dilla Odyssey is the constantly changing backdrops to your morning routines.

ABOUT US: We are a couple (a psychologist and business executive) who retired early in order to travel and enjoy life. We spend half our time in Washington DC and the other half in extended slow travel all over the world. Lately our slow travel has been aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey in which we invested substantially in the cabin we own and a small amount in the company. Our philosophy is to "travel wide" but also to "travel deep" which means really getting to learn the stories unique to the destinations that we visit.
