Have you taken any boat trip lately?
Speaker 2
Not anything big recently. I have been working a lot to save up for some trips this summer.
Speaker 1
Nice! Anywhere in particular you want to go this summer?
Speaker 2
I'm not totally sure. I have family in the Caribbean and I'm thinking of going to visit
Speaker 1
That sounds awesome! I haven't been to the Caribbean in years. When was the last time you went?
Speaker 2
It's been about 10 years since I went there. I'm hoping to really travel to see more of the world since I have this little boat.
Speaker 1
Wow!! Have you thought about traveling in Europe at all? I have heard great things about the Mediteranean!
Speaker 2
I've actually considered going to Italy. 
Speaker 1
No way! I still haven't been, but I do have some family over there!
Speaker 2
It seems like such a lovely country. I'm dying to try REAL Italian food! While listening to music in the streets.
Speaker 1
Doesn't that sound like an amazing experience?! You will have to come over for dinner one day when my grandma is cooking. She makes the BEST authentic Italian food.
Speaker 2
That sounds wonderful, thank you for the invite. Might need you to pick me up though, if you don't mind. I don't have a car right now.

Does this mean that you'll be having italian food since she is from Italy?
Speaker 1
Of course!  You are going to love it.  She is the best cook ever!
Speaker 2
I do love Italian food! Seen any good british shows lately?
Speaker 1
I've been mostly been watching some old ones.  And Dr. Who of course.
Speaker 2
Is Dr Who very well known? I believe I've heard of it.
Speaker 1
Yes, it's such a classic series with a huge following.  How is life on the boat?
Speaker 2
A little rough! There have been some good storms rolling through so i have been docked.
Speaker 1
Oh.  I suppose that's one of the downsides of living on a houseboat.  No cellar to seek cover in!  I bet it's been tough getting to work in the storms too without a car.
Speaker 2
I work close by and I have an umbrella.
Speaker 1
That's good!  I don't know how I'd get along without my beetle.  
Speaker 2
You'd be surprised how it can all work out. Humans are resourceful if nothing else.

I'm a bartender and live on a quaint little house boat but we are currently docked. I dock my boat in an out of the way place. my family is from the Caribbean. I haven't been to the caribbean in years. I don't have a favorite song but I love old indie music. I work a lot. I want to go to Italy. I like music, likes italian food. I don't have a car. I walk to work. I haven't seen Dr. Who.
Speaker 1
Has the weather improved? Are you able to leave the dock?
Speaker 2
A little bit. Not enough to take the boat out though. Better safe than sorry. 
Speaker 1
How much longer are you going to wait?
Speaker 2
I'll wait until the seas are calm. I'm in no hurry. Besides, I have to work, so it's not like I can just take time off. I need the money.
Speaker 1
So how do you work when docked?
Speaker 2
Oh, I just walk to the bar. It's close by, so it
Speaker 1
Oh, I see. I know you dock it in an out of the way place but wasn't sure where in relation to work.  
Speaker 2
It's just a short walk, which is handy. Especially after work, when it's dark out. 
Speaker 1
Is it ever dangerous walking back in the dark in such a secluded area?
Speaker 2
No, it's not too dangerous. I'm careful, though. Again, better safe than sorry. I try to stay in well lit areas and keep my wits about me. 
Speaker 1
I used to walk home in the dark too and it was always slightly unnerving.
Speaker 2
Yes, but the key is to make yourself not look like an easy target. Walk with a purpose, stay in lit areas, etc. Make it look like it would be hard to attack you. Bad guys do not want to work that hard.

Do you listen to Carribean music?
Speaker 2
Yes I really enjoy Caribbean music, it reminds me of the times I have spent with my family in the Caribbean. do you like it? 
Speaker 1
I cannot say I have had the opportunity to listen to much of it, but I would love to expand my horizons. Do you have any recommendations?
Speaker 2
I really like Peter Tosh, that's who I listen to most I'd say. Although it is very different to Beethoven so I'm not sure if it'll be for you!
Speaker 1
I am sure I will love it, I can appreciate all music! whereabouts in the Carribbean is your family from?
Speaker 2
They live on Anguilla. Where did you go to when you visited the Caribbean? 
Speaker 1
Anguilla seems beautiful! I would love to go there. I have been to Dominican Republic and Jamaica.
Speaker 2
Excellent choices, they are both really scenic places, and really great culture. Do you plan to travel anywhere this year?
Speaker 1
I would love to travel to Iceland, I hear that the scenery is beautiful and there is a lot of viking history to check out.
Speaker 2
What a coincidence, that is top of my list of places to visit too. I am really keen to see the northern lights. Have you been to any of the other Nordic countries?
Speaker 1
I have not, but that reminds me that I would also love to go to Norway! It doesn't look real in the pictures. Have you been to any yourself?
Speaker 2
Norway does look incredible, I actually lived and worked in Finland for a short period of time. They have a great way of life in that region of the world
