Each day we set off into the world with curiosity as our guide and compass. We talk to strangers and accept invitations without fear or reservations.  But people are busy (even on remote islands) and travelers are a dime a dozen.  It takes time to talk to strangers, and even more time to have a real connection.  Going the extra mile to get to know someone is a commitment. Which is why these are our most treasured experiences.

We’re utterly addicted to new experiences and obsessed with searching out Indiana Jones style adventures.

These are people who are doing things differently. Forgoing the mainstream, seeking freedom and living on the margins. Creative, unique and inspiring people who challenge our ideas of home and community.

Self-reliance is what lets us wander far from easy access, cell service, and well-worn paths. It's not about doing everything alone, it's about having the confidence to figure things out as we go. That's when remoteness stops feeling risky and starts feeling like freedom. A lesson we’ve learned time and again from the people and communities we’ve met along the way.

Exploring the world like its 1492.

We've been road trippin' around North America since 2011, have rented vans in New Zealand and Europe, and we inspired Jason's mom to go full time Van Life. So yea, we're fans.

Any grand adventure requires some gear.

Searching for the perfect boat and all the gear to go with it.

Life on wheels or keels is an ongoing education. We're forever students sharing what we learn along the way. We've done a little of everything from engine maintenance to how to sail, anchor, rebuild a water pump or even rip out and reinstall windows.

Rules and regulations can be good and help keep things orderly. Sometimes it works. But sometimes, it’s just red tape or a bureaucratic mess with people following rules they don’t understand, don't make sense for the situation or simply don't know how to carry out. Sailing is all about freedom, the escape, living on your own terms. Except when it isn’t. Bureaucracy exists everywhere and there is no escape from it. Best we can do is learn how to navigate it.

How much does it cost to travel around the world? Well, that all depends. Here's what we've experienced so far.

Sailing is doing maintenance in exotic locations.

We’ve been using a composting toilet since June 2013, and we think anyone with a boat, van, RV, or tiny house should consider one. Here is why.

Sailing off into the deep blue and disconnecting from the mainland sounds lovely. But, in reality, we live in a digital era that requires at least a little connectivity. And, if you’re among those of us who are working while traveling, internet isn’t a luxury, it’s our livelihood.
