This is our extraordinary journey around the globe aboard our 38 feet catamaran Fata Morgana. We are exploring natural and cultural sites of interest, living off grid, volunteering, and making art for social change.

We have left behind work, school, home, and all those things that give us some false sense of security and comfort in order to find alternative ways of experiencing the world. We are now officially in a pursuit of happiness and adventure.

In September 2012, I withdrew the kids from school. In October, my husband and I left work. In November, we piled up a bunch of clothes, books, and tools on a 1988 34-feet motor home and left our house in search of a boat. After five months on the road, we found our version of the “perfect sailboat”. One that will be our home, our vehicle, and our school for an unknown number of years. A boat that will take us just about everywhere we want to go.
