Good morning Mr Tinfoil.....
I thought of doing lots of things, but they were just thoughts....
I wanted, when I was getting older, to take a sea cruise, but I wanted to travel as crew, not a passenger......to experience "life below decks".
The obstacle was ...... WHAT was I going to do?
So I used what I had ...... some basic dance certificates, and a whole lot of imagination to construct the most incredible CV.
I got a phone call from their Personel Officer to say I had no Dance Instructor certificate so they couldn`t use me.....
Then, a couple months later, I got a phone call ...... they desperately needed a dance instructor for a long cruise, and none were available due to a major dance competition taking place in the country.
Could I do it? Yes!
How did I do it?..... I bluffed my way thru it all, teaching passengers to do some dances - for one hour a day - in exchange for the cruise!
Oh yes .. it was worth it!
No, I`d not do that again ..... because one of the things I didn`t realise then was that I and my dance class were part of the mornings entertainment in the main lounge! with an audience!

where did you use to cruise to then ?

Oh, it was only a ten day cruise ... Durban to Reunion Island and Mauritius. Just enough to satisfy me, and cure me of being crew on a cruise ship.
Now, I`d enjoy going as a passenger! Crew have to work too hard, and dont get to lie around the pools or use the deck chairs - they have to tan up by the ships funnels! And they dont get the midnite feasts!... or morning coffee in bed! And when all the passengers got off to go sightseeing at Reunion, we had to do lifeboat drill!

I have a good friend who travelled the world bluffing his way along as a masseur, physical therapist, dance instructor, yoga instructor, cabaret dancer, martial arts sensei,... whatever
Over time he actually became good at all the things he did, even though he had no real training or experience when he started.

did you really go around the world twice ?
how long did it all take then ?
and how did you afford it ?
There are 3 ways to travel round the World. The easy way, the medium way and the difficult way.
The easy way is to buy a round the world air ticket and stop off at a few hotels or guest houses at various places on the way.
The medium way is to do what Michael Palin once did. Fly to the North or South Pole and then run around it. Around the World in less than 8 seconds.
The difficult way is to walk or cycle round it, using ships or planes to cross the Pacific and Atlantic. Or if you wanted to make it really difficult, you could row from Russia to Alaska and from Canada to Europe after cycling across Europe Asia and North America.
