I work at sea, so I see the world a few hours at a time. These are the postcards I send home from every port.

Hi, I’m Erica.
a Canadian travel photographer who lives and works at sea. Most days I get a few hours ashore before the ship pulls away, and I’ve learned to make every one of them count.
Short port days taught me to travel with intention: know what matters, leave room for surprise, and always protect the route back to the ship.
This is where I share it all, so your time ashore feels like more than a quick stop.
See you at the gangway!

A few of the ports I keep coming back to.
Each one has its own postcard: what’s worth your hours ashore, and how to be back before all aboard.
