It's such a bittersweet time for us...so many super exciting things to look forward to, but always sad to leave Delos for any extended period of time. ...

Most Amazing Thing About This Lifestyle!

Most Amazing Thing About This Lifestyle!

At the break of dawn we left Hiva Oa and set sail towards Fatu Hiva.

Having that choice and freedom is my most favorite and amazing thing about this lifestyle.
