What would your life look like if you dropped everything and cruised around the world for almost a year? World traveler and travel influencer, Brandee Lake, has done just that. After leaving her corporate career behind, Brandee took her biggest leap of faith and joined the Ultimate World Cruise with Royal Caribbean to visit over 60+ countries over a span of nine months. She shares her experience with host, Myra Herring, on what she's found to be the most rewarding adventure of her life. From racial prejudices to unlimited family time, Brandee has found that her next chapter as a travel influencer includes less focus on documenting herself and more storytelling of those who are often unseen in the cruise world. Join us as we explore Brandee's journey of following her heart and honoring herself enough to go beyond limits!
