An always highly controversial and heated debate, one that has pained many in my community, including myself for years.

For those who don’t know, Sam is a musical theater performer and once did a cruise contract which ported out of Venice and made trips to Greece.

I would argue that the greatest love of all time is your relationship with yourself. It’s treating yourself as you would like to be treated.

The times Sam and I were lucky enough to get to travel together have been magical. This picture was taken during a hike in Montenegro while he was performing on one of his ships. Traveling with Sam has always been one of my favorite things to do. We get to admire countries, the people, the culture, and experience life outside of The United States.

Hospitality is my industry of choice and it’s what I’ve done professionally for the past 10 years. I started working in hotels back in 2008. I was a NCAA swimmer back in college and so in the summers I would lifeguard a pool at a hotel near school. The front desk manager of the hotel saw how good I was with the families and asked if I wanted to work the front desk during the winter months. I agreed, and so began my very long career in the hospitality industry.

If you’re feeling down right now, we hear you. If you’re sad or lonely, it’s OK. These feelings are normal. You most likely share them with most of the world right now and they are 100% valid. Hang on tight, we have a feeling normalcy will start to materialize soon.
