Antigua: A 3-Hour Island Tour &
First Cruise Day with No Problems

I took a three-hour excursion to southern Antigua Island today, enjoying the beautiful sunshine on this unusually dry Caribbean island. Adding to my delight, this fourth day of my cruise is the first day in which I didn’t encounter any terrible customer-service issues aboard Costa Pacifica.

Got up at 7:55 a.m. Went up to the breakfast buffet on Deck 9, then prepared for today’s shore excursion: “Discovering the Beauty of Antigua.” This is, I believe, my third visit to the dual-island Caribbean nation of Antigua & Barbuda, population 94,000. And this is the third port of call on my 17-night Caribbean and trans-Atlantic cruise.

Today Marks 1 Year of Global Nomadism

Today marks one year of being a global nomad! I moved out of my apartment here in the nation’s capital Jan. 17, 2018, put my belongings in a storage unit, and set off to see more of the world. In this first year, I made it to seven new countries – Belarus, Cape Verde, Kiribati, Moldova, Nauru, Solomon Islands, and Ukraine – bringing my total to 127. I also visited one de-facto country, Transnistria (a breakaway state in eastern Moldova), bringing my de-facto count to three. Add the 15 inhabited territories I’ve previously been to, and 2018 brought my total number of distinct places to 145 – so I’m 62% of the way on my Quest for 234.
