So this is what I do for a living! And a picture of my big, white and fluffy buddy at work.

As I mentioned in my intro post, I work at a cruise ship traveling between Turku and Stockholm. Since I might post quite a few pictures of my magnificent work-views I thought it might be nice to explain a bit more about what I actually do on this big piece of metal floating around in the ocean.

So this is what I do: I am a youth activities counselor, which means that my main task is to organize and lead activities for children and adolescents. I work every second week, spending one week straight on the boat and then one week at home. I organize and hold activities such as face painting, disco, bingo, escape room, arts and crafts, different tournaments and also some interactive plays.

In the interactive play this year the kids get to help two incompetent detectives and Harri (my big, white fluffy friend, and also the mascot of the company I work for) in their struggle to find Harris lost teddy bear. ^_^

Here is a picture of my fluffy friend Harri.

Harri also has two friends from the Moomin Valley that like spending time here at the cruise ship. Tomorrow I will hang out with Little My for a while, I might post a picture of her as well. If she is in a good mood, she is usually a bit grumpy...

Thanks for reading!
Here is a picture of one of the views I had today:

Thank you! I liked the post, but I did like your latest one even more though, it was really honest and well written. Followed you :)

That sounds like a wonderful job ! Gorgeous view too ~

It is a really nice job! :)

I just found my platonic love!

Harri sure is lovable :P

hahaha yeah, that's what i mean, obviously

Hello Mia. Harri sure looks adorable:) I figure you might be able to capture some great photos while you are on the cruise. Do post some.

I will! :) I need a better camera though, the one on my phone doesn't really do justice to the nature

Sure:)

So cool!

Thanks! :)

I'll be honest... I just saw that silly costume picture. That's worth a comment and a follow! haha :)

Haha, glad you like Harri :P

That is so cool! How long have you been doing it? Love the pics.

For 2,5 years now. When I am studying I only work part time, but full time during summer :)

Welcome Mia! What an interesting day-to-day you must have with this big fluffy guy! lol. I've heard Stockholm is beautiful. Had a good friend in university from there. He spoke very highly of it. I've followed you and look forward to seeing more of your story. Cheers!

Stockholm is really nice! Sadly we are only there for one hour every morning so I don't have time to visit the city, only for a short run or walk if I'm awake early enough. I like your posts! Followed you as well :)

Welcome to steemit! Amazing views @ your job!! 👌🏽

Thank you! :)

Great post and nice pictures! Hah, I hadn't seen the Silja mascot before. Looks cooler than that lame Ville Viking guy :D must be a fun job you have :)

Thank you! :) it is a really fun job, but can be stressful too at times, like right now there's more than 500 kids onboard.. Facepainting is gonna take ages :D

Damn haha that's a lot of kids :D well good luck with that :)

This sounds like a great job! following you :)

Thanks, I do enjoy it! Hope you'll like my content :)

Fresh sea air all day .... not a bad life ;)

Nice bonus to have every 2nd week off too !

Yeah it's a really nice job :)

siiiick pictures. how do i get a flexible job like yours? im doing alot of uber and lyft and app gigs. I enjoy the freedom and i like adventure. Im blogging about it on my channel :) Hope to become a CPA soon and complete school. I'm from california, nice to meet you :)

I guess you could apply for a job at a cruise ship (or other ship) departing from California. But I don't know what prerequisites there are in US for working at a ship. Good luck with school! Do you have any tips on places to visit in California since I'm moving to Long Beach in August? ☀

Welcome aboard the good ship Steemit Mialinnea! =)
Full Steem ahead!

Thank you! :)

Must be nice to work on a cruise ship. :D

Cool post!

Thank you! :)

Great post 🌸

Thank you! :)

Welcome, Mia! Thank you for introducing yourself. I've been to Stockholm last year with my friends and I loved it! Your job sounds like fun, organising face paints and escape rooms! (I am a big escape room fan)!

I also love Harri, looks like such a fun and cute mascot! How long does the journey last from Stockholm to Turku?

I hope you enjoy your time on the cruise! Welcome to Steemit and I'm looking forward to your posts! :)

Thank you! :) Glad you enjoyed Stockholm! Escape rooms are really cool and fun to organize! The journey from Turku to Stockholm takes about 10,5 hours, we do a cruise there and back in 23 hours, so not much time to spend in Stockholm sadly.

I have been to Scandinavia before, actually. Harri... so funny. Welcome to SteemIt!

Oh really? Where in Scandinavia did you go? Did you enjoy it? :)

Trondheim and a little of Oslo too. Some mountains and the island known as Hitra. Very interesting and everyone treated me well. :D

I bet it was beautiful, I have actually never been to Norway but I would love to go there! The nature is quite different from Finland and Sweden

Hey, I've been to Trondheim! I loved it there. Did you take the overnight train from Oslo, too? I went hiking there and enjoyed the nature so much. Kayaking was great there, too!

Loved Ur Harri pic.... Good Luck with your Cruises and working with the kids.... Oh, & Welcome to Steem! .... So many interesting people on here...... Anyway, would Love to be Friends… U follow me, @doctormegazilla & I'll Follow U?

Hi, Thank you! Sure we can be friends, I'm also interested in meditation and spirituality so I'm looking forward to reading your posts :)

Is that you in the Harri outfit. He/she looks like a dolphin. What a cool job. Will keep up with your posts just so I can see the other two mascots! Good luck on steemit! Nezbong

Hi! Yes it's me :P Harri is actually a seal, but I guess he does look a bit like a dolphine. I did one post with Little My two days ago, you can check that out if you wanna :) I'll do one with Moomin to some day!

I want to work on a cruise ship too. Sounds like a great job.

It is a really nice job even though it sometimes can feel ruff to go to work and not be able to go home for a week. Other than that I love it :)

So...like...where do you guys sleep...as far as the crew. You guys sleep in the cabins as well?

Yeah we also sleep in the cabins! There is a special area for the crew, but since I don't work there full time all year I sleep in the cabins in the area where the passengers sleep.

You are very interesting. Following

Thank you :)
