Bureaucrat to Tramp

About the Book

Travel on a freighter is not the same as a regular cruise line - It's Better!!! The food is great, the crew is friendly, and relaxation is the order of the day.

Bureaucrat to Tramp gives you the information you need to decide if freighter cruising is for you.

Get advice on what to pack to include suggestions on items to make the trip more enjoyable.

Learn some of the lingo and challenges of the sea, as we take on pilots in foreign ports, maneuver to our berth to load and unload containers, and explore the local areas.

Explore the ship and life at sea, as we sail the seas on our way to various ports of call.

Curious about what the food is like? Peruse the daily menus.

But most important of all - start to relax as the bureaucrat makes the transition to a more laid back and happier tramp.

About the Author

Ken Peterson is a retired Supervisory Contract Specialist. After over 33 years of Federal service, six as an Army Officer, he decided to quit fighting the bureaucracy and enjoy life. He received a Bachelors of Arts in History from Morehead State University and a Masters of Science in Management from Indiana Wesleyan.

In the year since he retired, he has learned to ride a motorcycle, took the freighter cruise, and wrote this book.

Still very much a bureaucrat, he hopes to continue this journey, called life, with his wife Ellen in search of that next adventure, and perhaps assimilate just a bit more of the tramp philosophy.
