“Working on a yacht is one of the best ways to travel the world, earn cash, and live on a floating palace on the water (for free!)” - Baker Manning
​

​Hello travelers,
Today’s conversation is with my very dear & lovely friend, Baker Manning from Below Deck, the Bravo reality TV show. 
Baker shares how mourning her beloved father led her into a life of world travel… and thrill-seeking became soul-seeking. We discuss plant medicine, music as medicine, and how she unlocked her greatest superpower: joy.
The queen of ‘adventure -income,’ Baker teaches adult hip-hop choreography in Charleston Diva Dance parties, and is the author of the Yacht Job Handbook, your complete guide on how to break into the yachting industry.*
Her handbook is perfect for anyone in transition. Especially any hard-working thrillseekers you may know who are interested to stockpile some cash for a rainy day… maybe even pay off some debt! (As a crew-member, all your living expenses are paid.) 
I can also testify - it makes for equally great armchair travel, too :) 
Once upon a time, I daydreamed about working as a masseuse on a yacht. I love my life, but I wonder - in some other life, maybe she and I are crewmates in some sunny isle :) 
Are you there with us? Who knows? 
Take a daydream as you listen in below… 
Please share and enjoy!
