The best travel locations for vacations or workplace locations around the country and the world.
Dealing with PAX first thing in the morning, hanging out with the cast & stories of creepy weirdos onboard!
One of the coolest aspects of being a videog was getting paid to go on the excursions that the guests would pay hundreds sometimes thousands of dollars to do the same activity. The Photo department had an understanding with the Shore Excursions department that they would provide two tickets for both the videographers as and when they were needed.

Crossing the Equator or how I got to wear a toga to work and jump into a swimming pool!
How to describe a crossing the eqautor ceremony to a non seafarer? Organised chaos is fairly close a description as you'll get! Its an old naval tradition of hazing where when you cross the Equatorial line for the first time you partake in a ceremony where King Neptune allows the ship to safely cross. If you have crossed the line before you are known as a trusty shellback but if you haven't you are a slimy pollywog, still with me?

Last weeks in Australia and being in a life-size washing machine!
We only had a few weeks left cruising Oz before transited over a few months around Asia and this meant some new ports of call and first up was the gorgeous Whitsunday Islands, a collection of 74 mostly inhabited islands on the Northeast coast of Queensland and a good jumping of point for tourists who want to visit the Great Barrier Reef which unfortunately we would not be doing that cruise. I couldn’t complain however as I spent the morning at the amazing Day Dream Island resort, its days like that when you realise the despite running around with a camera in your hand you are getting paid to have the same experience that the guests you are with are paying hundred some times thousands of dollars to have.

Cable beach in Broome & exploring Darwin
Life was very different on the Sun and it was super chilled compared to the Coral, there was no 3 uniform changes a day like on the Coral and the relaxed mood was felt through the whole ship. Work was good and I was enjoying filming all the amazing landscapes and wildlife that cruising Australia gave me and more importantly I got on well with my senior Travis.

Business Invitation to Russia
Business visa is issued at the Consulate based on a business invitation for the following purposes: search for new business partners, business negotiations, consultations, meetings, etc. Thus, it is a very popular option for those who travel to Russia regularly for business reasons.

More stories from the Sun Princess: Public exposure, cabin stewards & Laundry theft showdowns!
The Sun Princess in 2008 was a great ship and I was really settling into the more laid back lifestyle onboard. One of my friends on the Cruise staff from the Coral Simon was onboard and so that meant it was easier to work with the team on the Sun as Simon clued them in on how I shot the events. My senior Travis was understandably more focused on the tour filming and as I'd established a good reputation from the Coral for my events fiming I was more than happy to cover most of the ship events on the Sun.

Here comes the Sun!
From a few months ago not wanting to come back and suffering from severe burnout, an email from Amanda telling me how awesome the Sun was and that I’d also be doing a world cruise made my mind up pretty quickly that I was coming back for another contract.

Reliable and cost-effective transfer between London airports.
We all have been in a situation where we have to travel to work. For some, regular daily travel is most of their work or business as they’ve to be in a certain location at a certain time to get their work done. Be it from travelling from a city to another or sometimes a country to another. Travel has become a major aspect in our work life and nowadays, every company hiring for a new job has factored in travel in their work profile which goes to show how prevalent travelling has become to one work. So it's the same for myself when I say, I have to travel a lot in my work.

Cruise Ship Diaries Part 19
The day had arrived..signing off day, which is weirdly not the day you acutally get off the ship, but the day before. You head down to the crew office and get paid any remaining wages /comission you are owed and bizaarely this was all still cash in an envelope you would receive and then have to hide really well or keep on you the whole day. Then most importantly you had to settle your bar bill and because you no longer had a shipboard account you had to put money on a cash card that you would have to use up fully that day (as they don't transfer between ships) if you wanted a drink on your last night.
