about us
- susan and dan
- Our plan : To take a leisurely sail around the world exploring new lands and new cultures as we go. On the way we intend to place equal importance to the inward journey as to the external journey.

About Us: as Snatam Kaur says; “We are light, we are love, we are dreams…”
