| Crash Course: Getting a Job on a Cruise Ship Posted: 10 May 2011 08:26 AM PDT
When I wrote the series 30 Ways in 30 Days to Redesign Your Life and Travel the World, I thought I had written the final word on how we travel indefinitely. Well, I tried. I got a lot more questions, all good ones, especially about how to make money since working overseas can be so difficult to do legally — whether it’s just getting a job or securing a work visa or the challenge of learning a foreign language well enough to be able to communicate at a professional level. For us, we’ve chosen to skip all of that and work as freelancers. After the baby was born, I used my down time to write another ebook called, A Practical Guide to Going Digital: How to Break Up with Your Cubicle for Good, which gives the real-world advice one would need to build a freelance or small business career that is completely 100% portable. Of course, I still get questions. Even my sister-in-law contacted me on Facebook to ask, “How can I travel like you guys do?” Her skill set isn’t one that is easily translatable to freelance or consulting work and I suspect she wouldn’t enjoy starting a small business online. A lot of post-college 20 year olds contact me too. They want to travel now, but, they say, they don’t know how, don’t have any money and can’t figure out where to start. Thankfully, Derek from WanderingEarl.com who has been traveling non-stop for 12 years knows another way: work on a cruise ship, travel the world and save tons of money and when your contract is done, travel independently until your money runs out and then do the whole thing again. Brilliant. In fact, Derek has been traveling so long, I was still in college when he started. Between himself and his writing partner Liz Aceves they have a combined eight years experience on cruise ships. I know a lot of people that this would be perfect for. In theory, you could still pay your student loans or save up money to reenter the workforce. You’d have a job, which is fantastic for convincing one’s parents that you have not, in fact, lost your mind. And you’d be traveling and saving money at the same time. So I asked Derek to put together a Crash Course on what it takes to get a job on a cruise ship. He not only said yes, but put together an amazingly comprehensive guide (it’s 91 pages!) full of extremely practical step by step information, like:
Obviously, this kind of information isn’t available in a traditional bookstore — it’s just too specific for most traditional publishers. But the great thing about the internet is that we can provide uber-niche and extremely relevant information to those people who have an interest — and because I write about travel, I’m guessing that the idea of travel and saving money for more travel are quite timely. So I’m offering the ebook here, the first title that I haven’t personally authored, and it’s priced at the super affordable $10, and will be downloaded immediately to your computer as a PDF ebook. As always, I have a try-it-out policy, so if you don’t like it, just say so within 30 days and we’ll refund your $10. And you don’t even have to tell us why. While you’re at it, be sure to check out Derek’s very cool travel blog, WanderingEarl.com where he writes about his adventures traveling around the world like traveling through Iraq recently or about the time US Customs found a bullet in his pocket.
