About Taru (written by Alex)

While I have what it takes to go through this trip in terms of sailing experience and knowledge - Taru brings in the necessary tools to transmit our memories of this journey to our followers in the most delicate way. Her excellent photography, her endless creativity and sense of style and her long experience and knowledge within the world of web development, web design, social media marketing and editing are much needed so that you all can follow our tour in an outstanding way.

I have, since the very beginning of when I got to know Taru, brought her into almost all aspects of long distance sailing and I'm happy that we're today able to share this passion. I have no doubt that she will feel confident in any hazardous situation, as she is both an adventurous and brave soul and also a very strong and determined person and the kind who knows exactly what she wants, what is needed and how to obtain it, in the fastest possible way.

In such an extreme trip that we're planning, you need to be able to rely on the people around you at anytime. Especially if there's only two crew on board. And that I definitely do with her. That is, I think, the main reason to why we short after we met understood that we had found our soulmate. We never questioned if the other would be prepared and ready to embark on a two year long sailing trip around the world or if we were ready to do it together. Everything was obvious and clear from the beginning. Everything in life comes to you for a reason.
