Being A Seafarer

The life of a seafarer offers a wider variety of experiences. Adventure, seeing different ports, traveling abroad--all are aspects of the seafarer’s life. Hard work, being away from family and friends, long times at sea-all are what some might consider disadvantages. Add to that the fact that a seafarer would have to be very wealthy or willing to work long, hard hours for someone else in order to experience the life, and consequently would have little time to enjoy the experience.
