We're just an average family from Weybridge, Surrey, in the UK.
Making the best of this journey called life!
Our world as we knew it has changed!
We've always loved sailing, so it seemed like the most natural adventure for us to go on as a family. After many happy holidays chartering yachts, we decided that we wanted more than just a week or two of this amazing time together, in the place we all felt most connected, the ocean! So we said goodbye to the rat race & suburbia destined for adventure. We wanted days filled with colour rather than monotony & routine.
What we got was way above our expectations, going back to the way we use to live is no longer an option. What we have seen and experienced has changed our outlook on life forever.
“And then there is the most dangerous risk of all — the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.”
OUR MISSION
To change our course in life, & have more time together!
By using a combination of teamwork, determination, unity & thoughtfulness, we've hopefully shown our boys that doing what makes you happy brings you more riches in life than any materialist items ever can.
We've inspired a passion for our oceans in the boys, hopefully one day they can make the difference it so badly needs!
Children are born curious, and new environments bring out that natural curiosity.
A creative hands on education
The word home schooling use to fill us with dread! However as we've been forced to adapt to everyones different style of learning, we've come to really enjoy the variety and freedom it gives, we've also realised how every situation can become a learning opportunity - for the whole family. How can you not absorb everything you see and experience first hand through travel?
The key lessons children learn from travel are:
