The Foster Journey
Hi! We're a family of 3, working and cruising full-time. We sold our suburban life in 2020, sailed the US East Coast from Texas, and just wrapped up in the Bahamas. Now we're off to distant seas, learning as we go, and having a blast! In these weekly videos, you're invited to come along with us. We want to go all over the world and are working hard to carefully craft a long-term lifestyle. You're invited to watch as we share the journey from suburbia to sailing freely.
