It's Marie! There she over there she is, uh ordering more height caipirinhas
We're live! oh there she goes
um
Literally bragging about how fast the internet was doing a speed test. Hey Fernando
Meet my friend Marie
So I was just doing I was just bragging about how fast the internet was and then it cut out
But what I did a speed test before it was 80 megabytes down download and 40 megabytes upload
However in the pool it's a bit
Significantly slower but I was unable to upload a video this week because I was we were on the Nomad cruise
Which is a cruise ship. Well, we went on a regular cruise ship
from Barcelona to Brazil it took about 2 weeks
We and they were good or just just like we did really didn't have a good
internet to do video on the cruise
We understood that that was the possibility
We knew that may happen on the transatlantic. Click curse. Yeah, it's a bit ironic to
be a digital Nomad on a cruise ship with really bad internet, but the point of the cruise was to
Do skill sharing and meet other people in the community and have fun
Every but I did enjoy the digital detox. I did enjoy
not being
Addicted to my phone screen the whole time and all the nonsense
I really got an idea of all the nonsense that I look at it on a regular basis
Yeah, and this was just focused the whole time
Yeah, I think
Like well your environment dictate you do and not in a lot of ways is so not having your phone on
24/7 and having so many other things to do was kind of a reminder of what life was like before
we were
connected constantly
But of course as soon as we got on land everybody connected back to the Internet and was like staring at their phones again
So whilst have to see how that goes, but we still have the same kind of better relationships
They're more meaningful. They're more powerful. I think when we're not distracted by things in front of us
Yeah, I think the connections
On the cruise are very good. Yeah, so let's talk a little bit about the cruise B
So it's called the Nomad Cruise - there aren't just digital nomads on the cruise
Like really anyone can go on the cruise. It started with like a hundred people. This was the seventh one
So now it's up to seven no five hundred people
so it started with a hundred people now, they're at five hundred people and they do it twice a year and
there's a few writing principles of the cruise that
Really, We all felt like we were live in some kind of
utopia like some type of bubble but in a good way because it was
Basically, they call it like a social experiment
What happens when you take 500 people?
Put them on a boat together for two weeks without Wi-Fi for some time
And the results are incredible the results are amazing
yeah, basically everyone who goes on one cruise wants to go on another one and another one and another one and
It's kind of an unprecedented
Experience because I I haven't been to Burning Man for example. Have you been there?
but what people were comparing it to is Burning Man because of these like
principles of basically
radical
Individuality. Yeah
individuality openness kindness sharing generosity
participation respect respect
Cheeseburgers
Okay, yeah we've got um
We ordered all the food we have multiple caipirinhas coming. We have cheeseburgers
French fries we're starving
Um, so it's disembarkment day and I feel fantastic
Considering that we had to be up and off the boat at 7 o'clock this morning
Yeah, I think we're doing very well for her. So and we'll probably have a meet up later with the rest of the crew
I can't wait to see them again
yeah, we
Landed in a town called Recife here in Brazil, and we went through
We've counted
10 steps 10 steps 10 faces 10 things on our to-do list today number 10 was get in the pool drink
Caipirinhas and eat so we've made it to the tenth phase of the day. I was just waking up. Yeah at 6 a.m
Yeah and getting out of our rooms by yeah the time and we've traveled a few hours
From where the ship docked this morning and there's about a hundred or so people here probably
More there's at least probably 200 people
So out of 500 people on the boat a few hundred maybe half of us or more have travelled now to a few hours
South of this town of Recife in Brazil called Porte de Galinhas and basically people are going to live
We've like taken over the whole town and we're just living here working here
They're strong. Yeah
digital nomad invasion
And so you wouldn't go wait. Oh wait till the other ones ready. We'll wait until both of our beverages are ready
Let's talk about like what we did on the boat
Yeah, so each day
You're like, what do you do on a cruise ship with no internet?
But with 500 people and it's not well day and it's not
necessarily a booze cruise and I didn't even drink like I maybe had a
Glass of wine every other day or something because I didn't want to get sick but it's like what do you do?
from
10:00 a.m. Until 10:00 until
5:00 a.m. Well, there were so many amazing
speakers workshops
Meetups there was something to do so
This is the idea of like FOMO this idea of like fear of missing out on
What's going on with the rest of the community once you have?
A sense of community with these people so there was always something to do and that was really good. That was
Amazing. So there were 82 speakers out of 500 people so they were always at least between
one and five things that you can attend
Any given moment so it could be a talk. It could be a workshop. It could be an informal Meetup
It could be, you know going to the gym or doing yoga or acro yoga or meditation or all sorts of things
the biggest skill share so anybody can
Sign up to get up and talk about anything at any given point in time and I think having the sense of community
Where we know there's kind of like a no BS
Rule, we know people are very open to communication to learning from one another
And it's just it's the strongest thing I think about the sense of community because if you're anywhere else in the world
Maybe you have some hesitation before you go up and talk to somebody or ask them a question
I don't want to learn from them and
Immediately as soon as we get on the boat that's cut off like, you know, everybody there is there for the same reason?
and when you see the wristbands
You know you can go and have a mature
productive conversation with anybody so it would be like
Think about in your daily life like you might get up go to work or commute there
I think you have your drinks. Our drinks are on the way. I
Better keep drinking my other one
You don't have that many opportunities to interact with new people on a day-to-day basis
so in this case
You have two weeks to pretty much talk to whoever you want and the person that you go up and talk to is
Not going to think that you're weird
Obrigado! Habitación 203. Mmhmm
Cheers
Marie
So yeah
Basically, you have two weeks to learn a lot of stuff about business about life skills
there were all kinds of things from how to do a TEDx talk and public speaking to how to create a
Yeah, laughing workshop in ecstatic dance workshop how to create a financial
plan for your startup
pitch to invest how to pitch to investors
how to write a professional bio I
professional house-sitting
There were workshops. There was entrepreneur hot seeds there were 30-second pitches
I did a workshop on how to sustain and thrive in the digital nomad lifestyle
How to basically be a badass
in life like how to learn like anything you want to know how to totally crush it out of crush it in life and and
Basically, that's the summary of it. So
what is the outcome of this the outcome is a
hundreds of interactions with people hundreds of
thousands with hundreds of people
amazing conversations inspiration like I filled up two notebooks of ideas and
journals, like I think I drafted ten blog articles just based on like a sentence that I heard or an idea that I had and
Also having having fun doing them like on land
excursions as well like scuba diving and hiking and things like that, but in general it was just basically
a safe environment
to be yourself to share with others to learn to meet new people and like
like-minded people and to kind of start the beginning of
A global community where you can see each other once or twice a year or more than that you can decide to travel with people
You can decide to meet them out other places around the world and I really can't think of
Being comparable that I've ever done in my life it can you know, absolutely not
No, they're nothing compares to this. Nothing compares to any of this idea this mindset the lack of drama the laughs
Yeah, just it's just straight focus. I think there was there were a lot of like emotional barriers that I think
were broken this time I think people really put themselves out there in a way that
They maybe wooden in real in normal life. Yeah, or in their nine-to-five jobs or in their their families
They were free to feel themselves this time
Or on any other cruise. Yeah, so you were on the last year's we met on the last curse. Yeah
Did you feel different about this one or was this exciting as exciting for you I
it was as exciting but I felt like I paced myself a lot more like I slept more and I
didn't have as much FOMO as I did last time because
low power mode
But I think it was
it was still like very inspiring and very engaging and
Something that I'll definitely do a gun and again throughout my life, so and Marie lives in New York
and we've met now in the Mediterranean in Las Vegas and now
On the Atlantic Ocean. Yeah
And you just meet friends for life and like in any normal conference, they throw in a few networking events, and and that's it
But this is like living with other people on a floating city
And that's and that's the image that's like the goal is to have a boat with like thousands of people on it who are doing?
this so if you guys want to learn about it, I'll post some links below and
also link to some other videos that I've made about the nomad cruise from a few months ago and
Keep an eye out for more for more coming your way soon. As soon as I edit them you have anything else to add? Yeah
I just want to say that I think
Coming from the nine-to-five
Mindset and then go on the first Nomad cruise, which was the Mediterranean was no
Cruise six months ago I think coming back
To the Nomad cruise again was like this the six-month difference
mm-hmm between the two cruises was a really good milestone or
place like like it was a goal to come back on this cruise and have an idea of the
Sense of community and to get focused long-term again
Yeah, when I'm not I'm not completely nomadic yet, and I'm still trying to work out all the details of that
So I think it was really an important milestone
To come back after six months and be a part of this community and be a part of this minds skills chair
Yeah mindset and to see just to see what people are doing. Like what are people doing to make the healers like oh
all sorts of people
Like runs the game. I can't hum this type of event with wool and just something to get out of the day-to-day grind
then I highly recommend it and maybe we'll see you guys next time in the Atlantic Ocean the
Mediterranean or here in beautiful Brazil
So ciao for now
