Background

So I got this incredible job. My dream job, actually, as a chef on an 80ft sailboat doing charters out of Florida. The boat is beautiful, the captain's great, and the pay better than I could have hoped for. Sounds awesome on paper, but I'd be away from my boyfriend, my home, my friends, and my family for seven months, without even the chance to come home for Christmas. I've never been away from home like that before. But it's such an incredible opportunity, there's no way I could pass it up, and if I had? especially out of fear" It would have eaten me up inside. I am finally starting to get excited about it, trying to push through the guilt I feel for putting this all on my boyfriend who I love to DEATH, and see it as the positive experience and adventure it will be. I'll be getting paid to travel! In the Carribean! So wish me luck.
