Our Story 

Welcome aboard Florence - our floating home that will take us around the world on a series of adventures. 

And who are we? Abby and Stephen - newlyweds who recently quit our stressful jobs in finance, packed up our fast-paced city life in London, bought a 55' sailboat and have taken to the high seas in search of a different way of life. For two people who just two years ago didn't know a thing about sailing, this has been an unconventional choice to say the least, and one that took our family, friends and colleagues completely by surprise. After many months of preparation, we are about to slip the lines and will admit that at the outset of this adventure, we have many more questions than answers. What we do know is the status quo: we know our lives in the London rat race - how we fit within this sphere and what our capabilities are. What will happen when we completely throw ourselves out of our comfort zone? What will we discover about ourselves and each other? What will we discover about the world? Who will we meet? What will we see?  How will this experience change us? What is our true potential? Will this be the adventure of a lifetime or a huge mistake?  I guess we are going to find out…. 

​

We invite you to follow along with us on this crazy journey as we attempt to discover what this great big beautiful world - and we - are made of.
