The Cruising Kiwis
August 05, 2018 SAILING YOUTUBERS
Our sailing videos are almost at the fringe of the cutting edge of informative travel entertainment confirming life is far too important to take seriously. We are a New Zealand liveaboard family of five: Rob (50+), Rachel (21-ish), Finn (19), Declan (17), Ivan (14) circumnavigating nomadically by sail boat learning from nature, new cultures and life experience. We hope to inspire others to explore different ways to live and educate while having a truckload of fun along the way.
