Julie Perry spent three years as a megayacht stewardess, which took her to over 40 different ports in 18 countries. And she can tell you how to do it too.

Currently a digital-marketing executive living in landlocked Indiana, Julie stays connected to the yachting community by attending megayacht shows year-round and speaking at marine events. She doesnÕt miss cleaning toilets for the worldÕs wealthiest, but she does miss traveling the high seas with them. . .Instead, she writes about it.
