As my previous post would suggest, i've recently accepted A NEW JOB!!In April, I set sail for my first four month stint as Pastry Sous Chef aboard the floating city, "The World." Now, to be perfectly honest, before Anthony Bourdain's account of the boat in his most-recent book The Nasty Bits I had no idea that this boat even existed! However, a few weeks ago (for some bizarre reason) I was suddenly hit with a bolt of inspiration to read up on it, and inquire about any available positions. As luck would have it, they happen to be looking for someone and after a few interviews, I found an offer in my inbox. =)
Ok, so what exactly is this "The World" ?? Essentially, it's a monster floating city complete with around 200 condos, 4 restaurants, a casino, a theater, a full-sized tennis court, a pool, a work-out facility, a library, a spa, and a helipad (for easy "just jet on by" access). Residences range in price from $2 - 7.5 million, and (for a ship that's big enough to fit around 1500 people) there's only around 300 guests on board at a time.
Not gunna lie, this is definitely an unusual experience, and for a ton of reasons, something I'm REALLY excited about. When I got home from Italy, I wasn't sure exactly what would become of this blog, but with this experience on the horizon I'd be stupid to let it go. Another expat job means being miles and miles from the comforts of New York, the family in Baltimore, and friends spread all over the world. With the blog, I'll be able to stay connected and keep you all updated with pics & stories from all over.
OH, and with that in mind, my first stint starts in Chile and should drop me off somewhere in Alaska in August.
Should be fun!!!!
Ciao!
