growing up in California I thought I had came from a diverse background. When I moved to Oman and started working with people all around the world I realized I had a lot to learn. We started spending time together, eating together and becoming friends with people from all around the world. We got to learn about each other’s cultures while learning about the local culture.
Diversity has allowed me to easily build rapport with my fellow crew and better understand people from different cultures.
