Description
Would you want to spend a season on a fishing boat? Hold on and get your sea legs ready! Today, you're getting an inside look into the Alaskan fishing industry from longtime fisherman Patrick. You'll hear all about his beginnings on board a fishing boat at 13 and his life now as the captain of his own ship (plus his plans to bring his girlfriend on board!). You'll learn about making money while you travel, how to use seasonal jobs to fuel your adventures, and more.
Are you up for the adventure? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you'll share by sending me an audio message.
