Creator's Key Takeaways

After three years of full-time travel, our travel planning and travel style look very different than when we started.

We've really upped our cruising. We started off with a trans-Pacific cruise for a month, but we've even upped it a lot more.

Don't ever take the first answer ChatGPT gives you, but you can get complicated and in-depth. Just think for yourself at the same time.

As we've gone through and as we've experienced, how much English is spoken around the world and how easy it is to use public transportation, it's upped our confidence game.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use ChatGPT to narrow down neighborhoods and plan port itineraries, but always verify the information.
βœ“Consider casino rate cruising to save significantly on port fees and taxes.
βœ“Balance speed of travel with flexibility; sometimes traveling faster with hotels is more efficient than slow travel with Airbnbs.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Language barriers and transportation in non-English speaking countries β€” As you experience more, you'll realize English is widely spoken and public transportation is often easier to use than expected.
Safety and risk in adventurous locations β€” Build confidence through experience; focus on risks that aren't safety-related, like bugs or food, rather than extreme danger.
