Stewardess Cody Fernandez
After completing formal education, she pursued a two-year study in textile design. However, realizing it wasn't her true passion, she embarked on a journey to explore her interests. During her travels in Mexico, she fell in love with its marine life, prompting her to venture into a career at sea. Since then, working on the ocean has become her enduring passion. She began her maritime career in Mexico at Puerto Aventuras with a charter company. She served as a stewardess, welcoming guests, preparing beverages, and attending to their needs. Additionally, she provided support to the chefs and captains by preparing appetizers and guiding snorkeling excursions. Subsequently, she ventured to the Mediterranean, where she worked on a private yacht for several months. In this role, she took on multiple responsibilities as a chef, stewardess, and assistant to the captain. Her duties included preparing breakfasts and appetizers, maintaining cleanliness in common areas and cabins, and assisting outside the vessel with tasks such as anchoring and port-related duties. Following this enriching experience, she moved to the Caribbean, specifically the British Virgin Islands, to continue her seafaring journey.
