Janaye and Jason two ocean loving Aussie's who have embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to circumnavigate the world by sailboat.

The Crew

Janaye and Jason are a couple who have embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to circumnavigate the world by sailboat. They are passionate about travel, the ocean, experiencing new cultures, and pushing themselves out of their comfort zones.

The couple, who are originally from Australia, left their businesses and their home country to follow their dream of sailing around the world. After 2 and a half years of saving, they finally found their perfect boat and started their journey.

Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, including restrictions on travel and obtaining an exemption to leave the country, Janaye and Jason persevered and are now on their way to Greece. After a challenging search, they finally found their boat and have officially become boat owners.

Their plan is to circum-navigate the planet and show their adventures along the way including all the up's and downs and just their general day to day lives living on a sailboat. Plus of course all of the amazing destinations they visit and bucket-list items they tick off. They will be documenting their journey and inviting us along for the ride, so subscribe to follow along on their voyage!

With the support of their followers and patrons, they hope to upgrade their camera and audio gear, maintain their sailboat, and pay for other expenses related to their travel content creation. They are working on developing quality merchandise for their supporters and also offer options for one-time donations through PayPal or purchasing their organic cotton merchandise from their online store.
