Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Brady Trautman. He is an entrepreneur, filmmaker, and the co-founder of the YouTube channel SV Delos. Originally from Florida, he studied environmental engineering before making the transition to full-time sailing. .

WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:

If your family and friends aren’t sailors, where does the interest come from? How do you end up sailing around the globe in your early twenties?
Brady Trautman talks to us about his first journey. Where they started and the islands they reached along the way. The beauty of the open water and sunshine day in and day out.
Co-founder of the number two sailing YouTube channel in the world SV Delos and how they have documented their sailing experiences around the world.
The question is ‘how do you possibly fund a lifestyle where you are months upon months on the open seas? If you had any money to start, how long does it take to go through it?’
Living and working in New Zealand and Australia, and how that happened.
Mikkel & Brady talk a lot about diving...they both have a huge passion for scuba diving and some of the crazy things they have done while on a dive.
What one thing, more than anything else, is important if you want to help crew a boat that will be a sea for many months. It’s probably not what you think?
After living for years in the South Pacific and the Caribbean where it is warm and hot every single day, they head up to Norway with their final destination of 80 degrees North, where it is cold and snowy, every single day.
How they documented and filmed a 4 part mini-series called 80NorthSeries.com and detailed the expedition of 8 sailors and filmmakers in the Arctic Circle. On this journey, the crew discover the very real effects of climate change and plastic pollution, witness some of the Arctics' rarest wildlife and learn the true power of Mother Nature.
They self-published using a pay what's fair model! Brilliant!
