Creator's Key Takeaways
I have been able to figure out how to travel on cruise ships as your home base being less expensive than it is to live on land.
As a solo female traveler, for most of my journey, I am traveling solo for now. Um, and I feel very safe.
It's impossible to exist on a ship, in my opinion, without getting at least 10,000 steps a day.
I just find airplane travel so much more inconvenient now when I can travel on a cruise ship and be hanging out, sleeping, being entertained.
