And that’s a wrap.. yesterday marked our final show on board Costa Atlantica. I can not believe 9 months is finally coming to an end and we will finally be flying home to our families and friends soon. I have miss everyone back home so much and not being able to contact everyone as much as I’d like with the time difference and WiFi difficulties at sea has been such a challenge but we’ve made it. I’m literally so ready to spend hours catching up with everyone over endless cups of tea 😍☕️ But in the true style of my life, it’s never quite as simple as that.. we have cancelled our final two cruises due to the out brake of the #coronavirus and all crew are now in #quarantine on the ship. We are all safe and in good health and looking after each other so nothing to worry about here plus costa cruises have given us free WiFi, woo!! So get in touch and keep me entertained people! #cruiseshipcrew #dancer #feathers #costume #showtime #finalshowdown (at Shanghai, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/B70y9UYgmdp/?igshid=1nvrms8l04vtq

China you’ve been some experience. Working on board a cruise ship has brought me to so many new corners of the world and shown me so many different cultures. Coming towards the end of my 9 month contract, I can’t help but feel so rich in experiences. This has been a dream of mine that I fantasied about while I was training full time and I can’t wait to share it all with you. It was NOT what I expected but it was everything I could hope for and more.. I’ve also vlogged the entire experience which I can wait to get up on #Youtube #shiplife #china #staytuned (at Xiamen, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7k3SvqgtMp/?igshid=1i3emzzbf5gwj

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃 can you guess what I am? Living on board this ship I swear I never know what day of the week it is or what date!??.. Halloween has definitely creeped up on us this year, so it was time for me to get creative and see what costume I could make with whatever I had on board!

Thinking back on my journey I am so greatly to be where I am now. It’s so true what they say we are all on our own unique journey. There is no need to compare yourself to anyone else or want to be on the same journey they are, create your own path to reach your goals, you are unique. We have such a hectic schedule on this cruise ship with shows nearly everyday and 5 months with 4 to go, some days I feel like I’m going a little crazy! But then I think back to my journey living in London constantly on the go, always auditioning, wishing the day would come that I’d get an email with my dream contract to work on a cruise ship and travel and see the world. And here I am. I am so lucky and grateful that I always had such supportive friends and family pushing me and supporting me to be my best. And I couldn’t be happier to be where I am now even though sometimes I take this situation for granted I know how lucky I am to be here and I’m so happy I never gave up. https://www.instagram.com/p/B307IaoAa7P/?igshid=1p6m4ln21ga93
