Author Biography
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. The first edition of her book, The Insiders' Guide to Becoming a Yacht Stewardess, has been a must-read guide for yacht crew since 2006. With the release of her updated, second edition, Julie hopes to continue to help wannabe "yachties" get into this awe-inspiring industry---if not simply entertain those intrigued by such a career path. 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 doesn't miss cleaning toilets for the world's wealthiest, but she does miss traveling the high seas with them. . .Instead, she writes about it.
