About Us

Hi! We are Duwan and Greg. We are nomads.

We used to live in a house in Cabbagetown, an old mill village in the shadow of the city of Atlanta’s skyline. Then in 2011 we sold everything, quit our jobs, rented our house (and eventually sold it), bought a sailboat, and set sail on a traveling adventure and a story that has been writing itself as we go along.

We spent three Winters and Springs sailing in the Bahamas, traveling from the very northern Abacos islands to the southern Jumentos just some 60 miles off the coast of Cuba. We spent one winter in Florida diligently working on our boat, Blue Wing, to get her ready for a big adventure sailing to Mexico, Belize, and Honduras. And spent our last winter afloat attempting to live that big adventure sailing to the southern part of North America, but instead got stuck in Key West and then broke the boat trying to cross the Gulf Stream to Isla Mujeres, Mexico.

We returned to Cabbagetown for eight summers and traveled in small circles house sitting while doing odd jobs and painting houses to make money to do the travel thing all over again. 2020 was our first summer we traveled full time, not returning to Cabbagetown.

We sold Blue Wing in 2018. We used to own a VW Westfalia named Great A’Tuin, but that ended in disaster too. We have now been traveling for four winters and one summer on land in a converted Ford Transit Van named Ballena Blanca. In the winter of 2018/2019 we headed south to Mexico in Ballena Blanca – finally fulfill our Mexico adventure on land instead of on the water.
