#17 How does working on a cruise ship in Antarctica look like – with Armin aka Yeti (MNE)

This episode starts and ends with uncontrollable laughter—recorded on Birdie’s balcony after some beer bottles, we’re bringing the good vibes and even better stories. Our guest, Armin (aka Yeti), works on a cruise ship that travels to some of the most remote places on Earth: Antarctica and the North Pole. With Nicholas stepping in as co-moderator, this one’s a mix of travel tales, fascinating insights, and a dash of Italian flair.

We dive into Armin’s life at sea, starting from the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia. From witnessing the firsthand effects of climate change to discovering his favorite route, Armin’s stories are as mind-blowing as the icy landscapes he navigates. Nicholas keeps things fun, peppering the conversation with his quintessential Italian questions—because who doesn’t want to know about shipboard fashion and discounts?
