Welcome to our ongoing story of how two people are living their best lives as they sail the world. While this is a journey full of new places, adventures, cultures and people, it’s also about discovering ourselves. Lives are full of chapters but unlike a book, life doesn’t come with an index telling you what comes next. This journey is just that, a discovery of our next chapter in life. It’s a story of travel and lifestyle but also of an alternative way to live. Come along with us as we explore and let’s see what we can discover together.
