Meraid Griffin

I was brought up on the West coast of Ireland, then moved to Northern Ireland where I worked as a Software Engineer, Magician’s Assistant and Manager of a Citizens Advice Bureau.

In 2010, I quit my job, decluttered my life and went cruising on a small wooden sailing boat. I spent over a year travelling from Arctic Norway to Brazil writing about my adventures.

I met my partner Dan at the Monte Real Club de Yates in Bayona, Galicia, Spain. Now we live in Hampshire on the South Coast of England where we sail, cycle and travel together regularly.
