We’ve made a lot of wild decisions over our years of travel… but nothing compares to this. 

After months of searching for the perfect go anywhere, high latitude vessel, we ended up buying the one boat we never thought we’d own. And we bought it at auction without ever starting the engine, doing a survey, or taking it for a sea trial. 

In 48 hours, we went from casually bidding to draining our entire bank account for a boat we’d only seen once. No warranty. No guarantees. No turning back.

This is either the smartest or stupidest decision we’ve ever made, and we’re about to find out which. Come aboard as we reveal our new adventure home, why we fell in love with this vessel, what it is lacking and share the wild story that got us here.
_______________________________

WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of explorers, modern-day documentarians, and cultivators of curiosity.

We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us.

Things We’re Most Curious About…

GETTING OFF-GRID
Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. So self-reliance and sustainable living are a must. We’ve learned heaps about renewable energy, managing waste, creating safe drinking water and foraging for food. We carefully manage our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.

TALKING TO STRANGERS
People are busy (even on remote islands) and travelers are a dime a dozen. It takes time to talk to strangers, and even more time to have a real connection. Going the extra mile to get to know someone is a commitment.

Which is why these are our most treasured experiences. Setting off into the world with curiosity as our guide and nature as our compass. We talk to strangers and accept hospitality without fear or reservations. Both giving and receiving.

ALTERNATIVE LIVING
These are people who are doing things differently. Forgoing the mainstream, seeking freedom and living on the margins. Creative, unique and inspiring people who challenge our ideas of home and community.

Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity
