CROSSING OCEANS
August 24, 2021 by Ryan & Sophie Sailing | Language: EN Play Time: 00:02:29 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Welcome to our channel! My name is Sophie, I am French, and I sail the World together with my partner Ryan, who’s American. We met on Tinder in Stockholm, Sweden in 2015, where we lived at the time. Were we sailors? No. In fact, we had never stepped foot on a sailboat.
But a couple of months after we met, Ryan had an unfortunate encounter with a goose, which left him with a broken shoulder. And it is thanks to that goose that you are watching this video right now.
While repairing his body and soul, Ryan stumbled upon a Bored Panda article that talked about the adventures of Matt & Jessica AKA @MJSailing , a couple our age who had sold their belongings to buy a boat and sail the World.
“Why not?” we asked ourselves. “It isn’t like sailing would be too hard to learn, and traveling by the wind sounds like a cheap way to see the World”.
OK, we were very wrong. But a few years later, here we are, making it happen on our sailboat Polar Seal, a Beneteau Oceanis which we have called home since 2018. We have sailed over 25000 nautical miles from Stockholm in Sweden, down to the Mediterranean, and across the Atlantic three times.
We even created a course about how to get started sailing the World! https://www.brighttrip.com/sailing
So welcome to our channel, we hope that you will enjoy the journey as much as we do.

Ryan & Sophie Sailing
Ever wondered what life looks like on the other side of quitting your job to sail around the World? We did too. And then, we took the plunge. Welcome to our channel, where we tell the stories of our sailing voyage, from zero experience to full-time cruising! We are Ryan and Sophie, an American guy and a French girl who met in Sweden, on a cold night of March 2015. Shortly thereafter, we decided to leave our corporate jobs to live a big sailing adventure around the World together. We had no experience of sailing at all before we started, and had honestly no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Turns out, with a bit of willpower and work, anything goes. The dream came true on June 5th of 2018, when we finally got to set sail from our home port in Stockholm.
