Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm Fraser and I'm going to be spending the rest of this year so 2023 traveling the world on cruise ships as a passenger which is very very exciting

I thought that this would be really different and it would be a really unique experience to to anything that I've done before I've actually never been to a mosque before so this was quite the one to start with

the food in there was excellent really really good which was great because I was definitely a little bit worried
