A Life Less Ordinary

We are not independently wealthy, trust fund kids, nor did we all of a sudden win the lottery. We have made a lifestyle choice to change course for awhile. This didn't happen instantly, as if we just decided to do this. It took YEARS of careful planning and thought to get to this point.

We are selling our house and most of our belongings to buy our boat and set sail around the world for awhile. We want to provide an opportunity for our children to experience different cultures and some serious family time.

Jared will still work from the boat (he is a civil engineer and can do a lot of his work from the computer). My school district will grant me a leave of absence from teaching. I will provide outreach education, but mostly as a volunteer. If I happen to get paid along the way for some STEM / science classes I provide, so be it, but we are mostly about giving back and making a difference wherever we happen to be sailing.

We are going on an epic adventure and the best part is we will experience it all together!
