These past few years have been ones of adventure, marvel and great beauty!
“My kids” in Guadalcanal
The year started out in Africa as Jeana sailed with Oceania Nautica to South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, and lively exotic Zanzibar. Enrichment topics included everything from The Life and Times of Nelson Mandela to Post-Apartheid South Africa, and from How Kenya Builds the Fastest Humans on Earth, to Women and Marriage in Africa, and Islam in Africa.

Cheese Making in Sicily
Late summer it was Alaska on Regent Seven Seas Mariner. Topics included Legends of the Gold Rush, Tlingit and Totems, and Drones in Alaska, along with a narration of Hubbard Glacier from the Bridge.

Autumn found Jeana back on Nautica, heading to Asia and Africa, where she delivered port and enrichment presentations about the Ancient City of Petra, the Temples & Treasures of Luxor and Karnak, the Holy City of Jerusalem, and the Decadence of Dubai, in addition to providing narrative from the Bridge as the ship traversed the Suez Canal.

Early winter brought Jeana back home to North America and to the charming Mexican Riviera, where she spoke of everything Mexican – from port practicalities to art, culture and history.
