Shopping The World by Waterways & Land

What do travelers want to bring home from their holidays and journeys? “Things”. Tangibel Memories. Things can include a vast array of unique items - fashion, food, jewelry, home décor, art, crafts, books, music and more. As the Port of Call Shopper, I am traveling the world by oceans, rivers, canals and by land, in search of creative, distinctive, artful, fashionable, delicious and indigenous Things from beautiful seaports worldwide. 

Don’t get me wrong…experiences are always much more valuable than just Things. Personally, I want them BOTH! That’s why, in addition to sharing my unique seaport shopping discoveries, I’ll also share my cruising and port experiences aboard a variety of vessels, including yachts, riverboats, canal boats and ocean liners. Join me as I share adventures of life, dining, entertainment, excursions and more, while traveling to seaports via the world’s vast waterways and land.
