Ever thought about what it’s like to trade your home for a boat and sail the open waters? Kimberly Ward did just that with her family, and she’s here to share every captivating detail. Inspired by a friend's adventure and driven by a desire to create lasting memories, Kimberly, her husband, and their 10-year-old daughter embarked on a two-year journey from Massachusetts to Grenada and back. From overcoming seasickness to finding ways to keep their daughter entertained, their story is filled with challenges that turned into unforgettable experiences.

Our conversation delves into the meticulous planning and preparation that such an adventure requires. Kimberly opens up about the financial adjustments they made, the logistical challenge of packing up a decade's worth of belongings, and the emotional and practical adjustments their young daughter had to navigate. This episode sheds light on the importance of stepping outside one’s comfort zone and making intentional, often daunting, decisions to pursue bold dreams. Kimberly draws compelling parallels between living on a boat and life in an RV, offering insights into the unique dynamics of her family’s adventure.

Living on a boat brought about a minimalist yet fulfilling lifestyle, and Kimberly shares how they adapted to limited space and resources. From their unique kitchen setup to the creativity required for provisioning in the Bahamas, we explore their self-sufficient way of life. The discussion extends to their homeschooling journey, where Kimberly talks about tackling legal requirements, finding the right curriculum, and the invaluable support they received from a tight-knit community.
