Hi there!

Today marks the one-month anniversary of our maiden voyage here on Norwegian Viva! I can't express how honored I feel to be a part of this incredible new build team. The amount of experience and knowledge I've gained already is beyond words.

In the next three weeks, I'll be taking a well-deserved vacation, and I'm absolutely thrilled about it. After months of non-stop schedules and meticulous planning to prepare this beautiful ship for her first voyage, I think it's high time for a little break to spend quality time with my family.

Due to this, I wasn't able to create any new content for my YouTube channel, but that's perfectly alright. Life has its seasons, and sometimes we need to slow down. Rest assured, I'll be back soon with fresh videos.

One of the most heartwarming things about the past few weeks at sea has been meeting guests who recognize me from my YouTube channel and appreciate my work. It's a wonderful feeling when strangers approach me and say things like, "I saw you on YouTube, great job!" or "Hi Francis, my kids adore your channel!"

These kinds of comments inspire me to keep creating and sharing, even with a full-time job. I'm constantly learning and developing my own system to balance video-making with my professional responsibilities.

Now, onto some exciting news!

I've given my website a fresh new look at www.francisalmores.com. The focus now is on delivering high-quality blog posts at least twice a week.

This way, I can share even more insights and learning experiences. In addition to my YouTube channel,

I also send out a weekly email newsletter, which you're currently reading. I'll be putting out blog posts and articles regularly.

I'm pushing myself to explore what more I can do and, at the same time, share my knowledge and experiences with at least one person. If you haven't had a chance to visit my website yet, you can find it at www.francisalmores.com. And of course, don't forget to check out my YouTube channel here!
