Today's video of the day comes from YouTuber TheTravelingClatt and shows us some container ship travel. Instead of taking a plane home from a trip to Europe, this guy decides he's going to hop aboard a huge contanter ship. It seems as though they have passanger accommodation, something I never knew, but this is no cruise ship living. Check out the 17 days in the Atlantic.

This video has great arc of story. The overall arc is getting home, but each day it seems has its own mini-arc to keep you, as the viewer, engaged throughout. The 17 days fly by in 11 minutes.
