Catching up

I know I haven't been very good at posting lately. In my defense, when you work 65 hours a week, you're on call 24/7 and have crappy satellite internet, blogging is sheer torture. Then trying to blog off my iphone in american ports of call when i have like 1 hour to use it, also not ideal lol.

I am home now after 7 months at sea. I am tired and slowly trying to get back to a land routine. I am having difficulties sleeping but that's expected cause well, my house isn't rocking me back and forth to sleep. Also takes my stomach some time to get used to the food here. Crazy what havoc clean and fresh food can wreak on your stomach.

This contract was an easier one but always my work remains challenging. BUT this time my ship didn't catch on fire and no one died on my watch which makes me a lot more mentally stable this vacation.  I focused a lot of my personal growth both in physical fitness and mental fitness. I was fortunate to meet all these enlightened people (I call them my Vision Board People) who share  similar outlook on life as me.  It was great to be around people that think positively and believe in the law of attraction (http://www.thesecret.tv/ ) and who believe in their own power.  I fix conflicts and problems and listen to people complain all day (and there are 1200 of them), so having a physical and mental outlet is very important (and quite essential) for me to stay sane.  I also started posting lots of motivation and inspirational stuff on my insta page ( http://instagram.com/natalllya79 ). I love being surrounded by all this positive energy.

Anyways, what I am trying to say is that I had a good contract and I am happy to be home. I have 3 months off an I have some wicked travel ideas.  I'll be putting up some pics soon of my last 7 months at sea.

Ciao Ciao,
Nats

The hardest part of travelling

Amazing article that just nails it. I am not in any one country longer then a few days. I come home to Canada once, maybe twice  a year. This article just says it all.

Instagram obsession

So I've recently discovered Instagram and I won't lie, I'm slightly obsessed. I have thousands of photos from all over the world and really looking forward to creating some fun new images out of them. Here's a few of them.
