Why did you decide to try living aboard? Why now? WE LIVED IN NYC AND WE HAD ENOUGH OF THE WORK HARD PLAY HARD MENTALITY. WE WERE READY TO RELAX AND ENJOY OURSELVES A LITTLE MORE. AND, TO EXPERIENCE THE SIMPLICITY IN LIFE
What's your long-term goal for living aboard? (as in, are you planning to cruise somewhere? just hang out in a marina and save money for a year or two? something else? and how long do you think you'll live aboard?) WE'RE PLANNING ON SAILING THROUGH THE CARIBBEAN FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN TO SETTLE IN COLOMBIA. WE'LL BE OPENING AN ECO HOSTEL WHILE WE LIVE ON OUR BOAT.
How long have you been planning or preparing to move aboard? ABOUT A YEAR
What's your target move-aboard date if you're still in the process; or when did you move aboard if you're already there? HE'S PRETTY MUCH LIVING ON BOARD WHILE HE WORKS ON THE BOAT, I'M AT MY MOMS FIXING SAILS AND DOING CANVAS WORK. WE HOPE TO BE FULLY MOVED IN IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS
Who have you told about this dream? EVERYONE! And what kind of response have you gotten? SURPRISINGLY EVERYONE HAS BEEN SUPER SUPPORTIVE
What has been your biggest challenge so far? MONEY
What are you most looking forward to? WAKING UP TO NOT A SOUL AROUND, EXPERIENCING NEW CULTURES, BEING ABLE TO SEE STARS (NOT SOMETHING YOU GET IN NYC)
What was your biggest fear about what you were getting into? PIRATES, A BAD STORM AND HOW I'LL REACT
What kind of land ties do you expect to retain? I HAVE AN ETSY SHOP (KGUDAHL.ETSY.COM) THAT I HOPE IS ABLE TO MAKE ME SOME MONEY WHILE WE SAIL
