🏝️ A life happening on land, a vacation on a boat - we have heard of that option before. But who says it can’t be the other way round? ⛵

Former electrical engineer Brian Trautman figured an 18-month sabbatical at sea would get him over a “freakout about life” 👻 when he left shore in Seattle back in 2009.

He went all in, sold his house 🏡, his cars 🚗, his career 🕴️ – all in exchange for a 53-foot, 2-mast beauty called Delos and the promises of a vague future.

12 years later, the land is where Brian retreats for a sabbatical whenever he feels like taking a break from sailing. For 12 years – impressive even for the most ambitious among globetrotters and sabbaticalists 😃 – he has rewritten what a “normal life” for him could look like:

Diving, beach walking, collecting visa stamps in his passport, seeing the world’s most beautiful spots – and sharing it all with the community on YouTube 📹 for a living.

Speaking of community, “SV Delos” ⛵ is more than just Brian. Over the years, many crews, including total strangers and sailing rookies, have enjoyed their time underneath the sails of Delos.

Nowadays, it is mostly Karin 👱‍♀️, Brian’s wife and Swedish princess, as well as little 👶 Sierra, their daughter, who rock the boat alongside Brian.

In this episode, Brian shares 💬with you his experience and practical advice on a number of topics, such as:

🌊 how to prepare for travelling the earth on a sailboat 🌊 what the perks and the nightmares of a life at sea really are 🌊 how to get over “I am not ready yet” 🌊 what to think about when planning to raise a child on a boat

Now, what is a dream YOU have and risk forgetting until you retire (or maybe never)? Are you sure that this dream would stand in the way 🚧 of you creating a sustainable life for yourself… or could it well be the start of it? 🌈
