In all honesty, we got into this because of a whole bunch of others we’ve discovered who are documenting their journeys. Back in 2017, an old friend of Dwayne’s was discussing his project sailboat and weekend classes on Facebook. This prompted a whole discussion about how we’d love to learn to sail someday and we dove into our favorite DIY resource: YouTube. Once there, we found dozens of families who are traveling the world, working as they go, and truly enjoying life.
These are some of the best one’s we’ve found and continue to follow regularly:
Traveler | Website | Description |
SV Delos | Website | These guys are one of the two "big" sailing channel on YouTube. Two brothers set sail to get away from the rat race. Seven years later, they've found many friends, new loves, and whole new outlook on life. |
La Vagabond | Website | The other "big" sailing channel on YouTube, two Aussies set out to see the world after working hard and saving every penny for many years. There down-to-earth personalities and excellent video editing make them a "must see" with each weekly release. |
Sail Away | Website | Loren, Eric, 4-year-old Rivers Danger, and trusty boat dog Zeke, are the globe-trotting crew of SV Cecilia. Their channel takes viewers along, as they search for the perfect boat, go through the tedious buying process, make countless upgrades and additions to fit her out for world cruising WHILE living aboard, then journey through the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and beyond. |
Gone with the Wynns | Website | At 28 years old they made the decision to make a major change in their lives because they were craving an adventure and felt their cats needed to see more than just Texas. They spent 6 years living in an RV all over North America and took off several years ago on a sailboat to see the world! |
