>>1283123It wasnt for work, i was traveling back to the US after spending a year teaching English in China and booked a spare room on a container ship since i had lots of free time and would be traveling one-way.
cargo ship travel is an old and niche industry but most major shipping companies still provide space for passengers and there are a handful of specialized travel agencies that can make the arrangements for you. it cost me about twice the price of a plane ticket but i just thought of it as staying at a very rural hotel for 18 days with all meals covered and an ocean view.
