Taking a rare vacation – This September, A Viking Ocean Cruise

As a professional travel blogger, I rarely get to take a vacation…because, well, I travel for a living. Taking a vacation for me might be akin to a mechanic never having a running vehicle of his own. Or a maid never having a clean house. I know it might sound a bit strange, but when you travel for a living, it doesn’t leave much time to travel for pleasure. It has been at least 3 years since my last vacation. When I’m not traveling, I’m in front of a computer weeks on end creating content from my travels.

The lack of a vacation is about to change. In late September of this year I am heading to Northern Europe with Mihaela Popa of WorldTravelbug.com as we are taking a Viking Ocean Cruises trip. We are both really excited. This will be Mihaela’s very first cruising experience, and only my second.

Have you ever been on a Viking Ocean cruise? If so, I’d love to hear about your experience.

If you ever watch any of my videos, you’ll hear me at the end say, “Until next time, we’ll see ya on the road…” This time, I will say Bon Voyage.
