📣An Important Request to Everyone

In the world of books, the number of pre-orders before release is apparently incredibly important.

If you've found my regular videos even slightly helpful, or if you're supporting Eri, I would be truly, truly grateful if you could support my new challenge by pre-ordering! 🥺✨

This book offers not only "serious know-how" for fully enjoying a cruise, but also a way to be freed from the troublesome planning and decision-making that accompanies regular travel—such as "Where to go next?", "How will we get there?", and "How much will it cost?"—allowing you to simply immerse yourself in the experience.

This book systematically explains the true charm and magic of cruising. ✨
And in the latter half, I've written about my journey to becoming a crew member and my approximately 12 years as a crew member.

Your support is truly a source of strength for me. Thank you always!

🛳 About Nomad Eri

For approximately 12 years, starting in 2011, I worked as a crew member for three foreign-owned cruise ship companies, sailing to 100 countries and 7 continents. I retired from on-board work at the end of 2025 and now work as a "cruise specialist," supporting your cruise journey while sharing information.

I want to share my accumulated knowledge and experience in an easy-to-understand way, helping more people feel confident about their first cruise.

This channel provides real-world ship information from a former crew member's perspective, useful travel items, and practical travel tips.

~About Me~
I worked as a cruise ship crew member from 2011, for about 8 years, with periods of work and rest.
I offer cruise ship information and overseas travel information from the perspective of a crew member with experience on 3 foreign-flagged companies and having traveled to over 90 countries worldwide.
I return to Japan regularly, but I often live abroad, so I also upload overseas travel information.
