I find it hard to believe that it’s been so long since I arrived in Guiana
Hard to believe that it took me so long to tell the story of crossing the Atlantic Ocean on a container ship ?
When I left Rotterdam last year, I understood people were interested in this maritime adventure.
Knowing day after day that the world exists around you and that at the same time you are apart from it, that it is neither good nor bad and that it will last a little while, is an opportunity to feel the rhythm of time differently.
Not to forget on board: It’s a work place, and you are not like on a cruise boat the center of all attention; work is.
I will keep wonderful memories of this crossing. And I will never regret not having traveled on a cruise ship.
With fewer distractions, we have time to breathe, to take a little break.
I feel that I have been a very privileged traveler on this freighter and I hope I have given you a nice overview.
I have tried to give people an insight, you can find a longer, more detailed post there:
What an interesting journey @RenanSavidan . Did you start at Rotterdam and end at Guiana and if so how long did this 7,455 kmm journey take? What work did you do on this ship?
I visited your link and read your story in more detail @RenanSavidan . Your cabin looked OK…the gym…sheesh very limited and so tiny, but off the grid, no Internet would be very difficult, even for 18 days lol. Regarding cost and the shock of people, I agree the life experience is invaluable…and the wonderful memories priceless! I crossed the Suez Canal three times and the Panama Canal twice and hope to do both these again some time in the future. One day I will write some posts here on Connect about these journeys
