drinkald familySailing to Australia!

These people know how to live! Steve and Cheryl planned for a long time, but instead of ‘someday’ they made radical steps to make their dream a reality. They bought a sailboat in Turkey and spent 2 years sailing it 17,000 miles back to Australia.

They took some time with us and relived their trip from their home in Adelaide Australia.  They nailed it on the head so many times of why people should consider traveling in unique ways with their kids.  They have some very cool stories to tell about their favorite things from the trip.

They also talked a lot about how their children have adjusted to life back on land, and how they think the adventure has benefited them. Good stuff and I know a lot of parents worry about how a trip like this might affect children.

Steve and Cheryl also happen to be good friends of ours, we often joke that they’re the closest friends we never see. We spent only a month together in Turkey, but have kept in touch over the years, and really had a special ‘click’ with them.  Plus, it’s really cool when an Aussie calls you ‘mate’! :)

Show Notes:Drinkald Family

Steve and Cheryl had a lot to say about their adventures, and I thought their thoughts on the process of saving for the trip, and all the emotions leading up to the trip were very fascinating.
