Today’s guests on the Expat Money Show are Nick Fabbri & Terysa Vanderloo, expats from the UK, who have a truly amazing story that started way back in 2009. They live a life most only dream of. They sail around the world, documenting as they go for all to see. In May 2015, they set off on their sailing adventure and in 2016 they created their YouTube channel ‘Sailing Ruby Rose’.

WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:

How did Nick and Terysa meet? What brought them together.
Who was the sailor, Nick or Terysa? And how did the one convince the other that sailing around the world would be a great idea?
If someone was interested in getting into sailing, what would they need to do?
If you’ve never sailed, Nick and Terysa explain what they believe is best for you.
Plus, if you’ve never sailed, how big of a boat would you buy? Is the old analogy, 'go big or go home' appropriate?
Can you just buy a new boat and start sailing? Or should you start slow and ease into it? How about classes?
Nick and Terysa talk about their 6-month adventure from the UK to the Canary Islands. Things that went wrong, and things that were perfect.
They also discuss other sailors who were also en route to the Canary Islands and how they did things totally differently.
We discuss their first boat purchase, how long they had it and why it was time to upgrade. Similarly, having their 2nd boat for 6 years, and why they chose to sell and buy a brand new Catamaran.
The benefits of a Catamaran opposed to other types of boats.
The 3 most important items to look for when searching out and buying a new boat.
What 4 obstacles must be addressed in order to move forward with buying a new boat.
What life looked like through this Coronavirus pandemic and how 2021 will fare for sailors around the globe.
We talk about their new Catamaran that they will take possession of by the end of 2021 and what’s in store for her.
