Imagine clearing out your life to venture into the great unknown, only to find your dreams dashed at the last moment. That’s exactly what happened to a woman from Cincinnati, who sold all her belongings in anticipation of embarking on a three-year cruise around the world. Imagine the allure of traveling the world, seeing new places, meeting new people, and experiencing diverse cultures—all without the hassle of packing and unpacking at each stop. This was the dream of Keri Witman, a Cincinnati resident, who decided to sell all her belongings to live on a cruise ship for three years. Keri’s adventurous decision was fueled by a long-held desire to break free from the daily grind and explore the world in a unique and luxurious manner. Inspired by stories of others who had embarked on similar journeys, Witman meticulously planned her trip, choosing a cruise that would allow her to travel extensively across various continents and oceans. The decision to sell everything she owned was bold and decisive. She sold her home, car, and personal possessions, keeping only essential items that would fit in her limited cruise cabin space. The thrill of setting out on a sea voyage that would last for years was both exhilarating and terrifying for her, but she was ready for the adventure of a lifetime.
