I am Etienne and have traveled the world working on cruise ships for the past 8 years., I have experienced many different cultures and country's setting foot on almost every continent. I have worked on Norwegian Cruise line, Holand America Cruise Line, Azamara Cruise line and Princess Cruise line as a Future cruise Specialist. Ubuntu is a South African term meaning "Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning 'humanity to others'. It is often described as reminding us that 'I am what I am because of who we all are'.
I even met my wife on a NCL Ship. I met her in 2019 in Barcelona; we dated and in 2020 When the world got sick with the Pandemic, we were separated till 2021 but kept constant contact in the separation. We met each other on the same ship in Civitavecchia Italy in June of 2021. I decided to ask her to marry me but had to buy the engagement ring from the safe of the retail store we worked in as she saw the ring in the case every night while packing away watches. Just to make sure she didn't know what was coming, I asked the captain of the ship if I could get permission to get engaged on his bridge. He agreed and the time was set for when we anchored in Santorini Bay, Greece.
We carried on and then transferred to Holland America where to my pleasant surprise one morning i woke up to the words "We can get our marriage license in Juneau, Alaska which so happened to be our port for the day. Once we did that I had to find a court that could marry us, eventually after a lot of back and forth with a really nice court officer called Mat, we finalized the date and time that coincided with the Ships docking time.
So, I met my wife in Barcelona, Spain, got engaged in Santorini, Greece and Married in Ketchikan, Alaska keeping to our globe trotter way of life and its part of that experience that has inspired me to start this travel page and help others to find their favorite travel experience.😀
