Yeah, you can do this and whatever you want... provided that you have enough money.

My wife and I lived aboard and sailed the pacific for 25 years. We loved it and wish were still capable of living on a boat and sailing to places unknown. We cruised differently than most as we enjoy the places more than the mode of travel. We would stay in a harbor, start a small business, and work on the boat for six months at a time. Then sell the business. We gave a few businesses away. They were enjoyable to to us and provided a substantial enough income that we could give them away when they didn't sell quickly. So nothing held us to land but our own desires. Where do you get the income to do this? Start your own small business. Make things to sell, do work for others (painting, woodwork, etc) make canvas covers, dodgers and bridge enclosures for powerboats. We made $100,000 in tax free income one summer (six and a half months) making canvas covers. How do you buy the boat? Work at it, contact everyone. Ours cost us $15,000 for a 57 foot fiberglass ketch.

Great life, looks like your kitty is happy slso

I'm too afraid of running out money and then regret quitting my job :(

If I sold everything I own, I might be able to afford a rubber dinghy... don't think the 4 cats and the dog would be real thrilled about that

Love the dream

Yeah, "just" sell your house and car, like of that is something easy anyone can do... I'm over 30, have two master's degrees, working full time for years, yet not able to buy a car or a house. Because I love travelling, I have spent some of my money travelling and I even managed to live abroad a few times. I have never been afraid to leave everything behind and go for it. And believe me, If I had a house, a car and some savings, I would 100% do the same ! But the truth is, we live in a world where this "typical life" as they say is a real luxury ! And what they do is not courageous, they are just taking an opportunity because they are lucky enough to be able to do so !

Brave, well done!

Awesom

This is what a true life lived is really about. In the words of Shia: "JUST DO IT!!"

I would love to do that but if only it was that simple, no job means no source of income and no medical coverage, and don't tell me your dream does not require money.

Absolutely love this story! And the swimming cat. I also live my life for now, the majority of people won't make it to their retirement, and by then they could be too sick or too old to travel and enjoy the things they have always wanted to do. Dream it, live it, love it! Www.anitaozo.com

Don't wait until some day if you don't absolutely have to (i.e. kids). All I've wanted to do is retire, buy an RV and hit the road. I don't know if that is going to happen as my health ain't great. I wish I'd done it earlier.

Awesome!! Wish I could do that and travel the world!! but my cat hates water and I don't think I could train him to swim!! So glad they are making their dreams come true and traveling the world!! good for them and safe travels!! glad their cat can swim also!! she is pretty!!

wow love it......guts and dreams

Marvellous life ! :)

Just a few serious questions about this. They have no long term permanent income just the $ from selling everything which at age 32 could not have been so much? Or had they hit the 'start-up' lottery? So what do they do when they run out of money, go back to real life? Then it’s too late to build for retirement. What do they doing about Medical Care? Unless their planning to inherent (which is a very poor retirement plan) I’d love to hear the end of this Fairy Tale when they are 65 yrs old and then 80 yrs old. Please update.

I completly love this story, only thing tought is... well not everyone can afford a boat or, have a car and home to sell. Or have enought money to travel for 4-5 years.

The thing that I love most about this is that it doesn't say "Look at me! I'm so beautiful, and so is my partner and we're living our wonderful dreams!". This post tells a story that is more relatable, more realistic and with a cat to boot. If you make traveling a priority, and curb spending your money on unnecessary things, you realise how much that adds up and makes that dream actually doable.

I think it's wonderful. I would worry about storms and my cat falling overboard and getting taken by sharks.

Wish I could! Happy for you! :-)

BRAVE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!! SMART PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May their journey lasts all their life and may the rest of us will do something similar,even if it is a baby step,any step away from modern slavery.

I think this couple is the bravest. They actually did what probably all of us at one time or another have only dreamed of. Congrats to them and Georgie.

awesome!

I LOVE this post for the vicarious thrill it provides, but as I'm a homebody, I prefer to just sit on my butt and wait for the perfect photos to come to me... :D

This looks like a dream come true.

This is the best thing I've ever seen

I am praying that I will meet my Soul mate like you did... I dream of travelling the world as well...

This will be me and my fiancé in the next couple of years!

FANTASTIC!! I am not in the position to do this for many reasons. But I can enjoy it seeing these pictures. Well done!! Great to see people doing what they want and love to do instead of what they "must" do in live. Big hugs to you! make s me emotional this in a very good way!

I wish I had something big to sell to let myself to do something that they do.

Wish I had your courage. All the best and safe sailing. Please keep us updated.

Thank you for sharing your travels with sweet foofer, Georgie gurl. She has a great sense of ha ha, smart companion .

If i would sell everything, I could go maybe to the neares bank and start working to pay rest os the credit:D

i want to do this!!

It'd be awesome if they started a blog with the specifics of how they were able to make this happen money wise. Like how did they calculate how much they needed to live and travel? What boat would they recommend? How do they manage their itinerary and safety on the boat. What should someone in a normal desk job life do to get started?

Couple of idiots imo. Very irriposible. We'll talk about it when the money runs out or when have no money saved and ready to retire but they cant and we'll read about them reading "52 ways to prepare alpo and love it"
