I first met Danielle in Colorado. We were both volunteering on an advisory board for a nonprofit that worked with educating girls in Tanzania. This was in 2014. Danielle had already been a world traveler, and it's no wonder that she; her husband, Conor and their dog, Pivo are now embarking upon a full-time sailing life.
Danielle, Conor and Pivo have been living in Auckland on the North Island in New Zealand since 2016. Since then, they've created a life there, working regular jobs, buying a house, making friends...building a foundation.
And as so many foundations do over time, they crack. Within that crack, they found this idea of living on a sailboat. One problem. Neither of them knew how to sail.
This is their story. A story of two travelers coming together in far away lands, building a life while constantly seeking new adventures. Lessons in downsizing, sailing and becoming entrepreneurs. It has a bit of a fairytale sound. But as in life on land, the sailing life definitely has its trials and tribulations.
And they're documenting it along the way. And as Danielle puts it, "Lots of beer learning curve." That's a learning curve I can handle.
