UWC Day 021 – Cruising Day
Update (1:30am): Added running and moon photos. Interesting day at sea, lots of logistics and planning (and being flexible). Back to being super muggy outside, but day 1 of virtual dopey races. Late night shenanigans Technically I guess this is part of day 21, but after last nights run on the track, I grabbed my…

UWC Day 020 – Cruising Day
Super nice day out on deck as we cruise towards Rio. Played with an intervalometer and getting ready for fireworks in a couple days. Pretty chill day. Chill Day Woke up late-ish after a late night, and started around noon. Finally left the stateroom and grabbed some starbucks and listened to a bit of music…

UWC Day 019 – Recife, Brazil – Historic Olinda and Recife
Bus tour to Olinda, and around Recife. Super early start time and it was so incredibly hot and humid but beautiful spaces. Overall, a pretty fun day and another interesting port. Early Morning Start On the excursion ticket, it had the same tour operator as the one in Fortaleza, so I wasn’t entirely sure about…

UWC Day 018 – Cruising Down the Brazilian Coast
Chill day catching up on some panoramic photos from yesterday, and some storage management for my laptop, while enjoying some live music onboard. Equator Ceremony A couple days late but there was an equator ceremony this afternoon (my first thing when I woke up). Unlike other programming on other days, it seemed like the entire…

UWC Day 017 – Fortaleza, Brazil – A Weird Day
Weird day. Possibly one of the sketchiest excursions I’ve ever been on, but some stunning views and beach time. Little odd and offputting start to Brazil and South America. We roll with the punches. Late Start (All Around) Reconfirmed my lifelong assumption that I’m not a morning person by (accidentally?) turning off my alarm and…

UWC Day 016 – Cruising – Christmas on the Serenade
Fun day of activities and celebrations on the Serenade for Christmas. Super anticipated by many onboard, but we passed the equator as well today on day 16 of the ultimate world cruise. Passing the Equator Unpopular opinion, but I wasn’t super interested in when we passed the equator. It’s cool, but my sleep was more…

UWC Day 015 – Cruising – Football and Festivities on the Open Ocean
Cruising day at sea with holiday festivities and sports!! Late Start Woke up and was surprised to find it was already 2 PM. I ended up sleeping almost 12 hours, which is semi crazy. Pretty nice outside from the camera feed, with some clouds and sun as we sailed out and about on the way…

UWC Day 014 – Being Flexible and Going with the Flow
We were supposed to go to French Guiana and to Devil’s Island, site of a penal colony shown in Papillon. I slept kinda funky all night, as my knee was bothering me all night while sleeping (which doesn’t bode well). Door Update Wasn’t sure if anyone would care about photos these days, as everyone is…

UWC Day 013 – Cruising – Relaxing and Learning Day
Super chill day, slept a lot (or seemed like a lot, since we lost another hour going forward a timezone as well). Mostly took care of some errands, paid bills, finished up some work I’ve been working on some side projects for the blog as I learn and transform the front end. Sharing Meetup Wasn’t…

UWC Day 012 – Grenada – Disaster and Beauty in the Mountains
Had a tour booked with ToursByLocals that was originally going to hike to the summit of one of the mountain peaks but the trail was washed out by rain, so we pivoted to a whole host of different activities instead per recommendation of my local guide Roger. Morning Lap Started the day with an obligatory…
