Bangkok, Thailand (CNN) -- The phone call came from my uncle -- a captain on a superyacht -- offering me a seasonal job as a stewardess. Having absolutely no experience and no idea what the job would entail, where it would take me and how I would fare in rough conditions, I jumped at the chance.

Within the week I had arranged my B1/B2 visa at the American Consulate, booked in the obligatory safety course ( S.T.C.W 95), had a medical, packed up the accumulation of goods a girl at 22 owns and flew across to the USA.

I arrived just in time for the Miami Boat Show armed with a reckless dash of confidence, a hefty dose of enthusiasm and sea sick pills.

Despite discovering that it is indeed true, one can turn a certain shade of green; what started as one season has now turned into six years of life working as a stewardess, and now chief stewardess, on superyachts.

Argentinian Duo Bring a Wave of Entertainment without Drugs and Alcohol; First Time Seven-City U.S. Tour with Celebration that Energizes the Body, Mind and Spirit

Washington D.C. (PRWEB) March 05, 2012

As teenagers and adults look for ways to enjoy and have fun, Yoga Rave offers an alternative - an alcohol, drug and smoke free entertainment where hundreds of party goers and yogis can experience a unique blend of chants, beats, yoga, meditation and dancing. This four-hour event will take the attendees on a journey of relaxation from movement and meditation to an all out celebration. The hi-decibel performance will be led by Nicols Pucci and Rodrigo Bustos featuring their popular music from the So What Project!

Teenagers and young adults today are stressed out and looking for ways to let go. Often, they use drugs and alcohol to release the stress but eventually these substances leave them more disconnected and depleted of energy, says Elan Gepner, US Yoga Rave Director.

Pucci and Bustos have been performing Yoga Rave parties in cities worldwide including So Paulo, London and Berlin since 2001. The duo presents an integral way of conceiving and creating music based on vibrations and thousand-year-old mantras combined with electronic beats in addition to a variety of other musical styles. They have a unique style in engaging with their audience and attracting crowds in thousands. The event will offer soul stirring music, sights and sounds to delight and will use nourishing food to bring a true intoxication to uplift the body, mind and soul.

The proceeds from the Yoga Rave concerts will go towards bringing Youth Empowerment Seminar (YES!) to the local youth across these seven cities. Yoga Rave is working in partnership with the International Association for Human Values (IAHV) and its dynamic volunteer base. They are focused on improving the mental and emotional health of the students by teaching practical yoga and meditation techniques so that the youth can deal with stress in their daily life in a positive manner. In the 2010-2011 school year, YES! For Schools reached over 12,000 students in 36 schools nationwide.

The seven city Yoga Rave entertainment events are at:

3/29, Club Pacha, New York, NY, 7-11 p.m.

3/30, 2424 Studios, Philadelphia, PA, 8-12 p.m.

3/31, Plumbers Hall, Chicago, IL, 7.30-11.30 p.m.
