Hi! My name is Suzanne.
I've been a full-time nomad for two decades. I spent years travelling the world by sailboat (on other people's boats). Now it's my seventh year with my campervan as base camp. I'm a Yachtmaster Offshore sailboat captain. And when I'm in the tropics, I'm a mermaid teaching freediving.
The first time I set off, I felt like an explorer. I felt alive.
I share what this life is really like, the practical side and the healthy side, the freedom and the hard parts.

The community I started
Meetups in the wild
Ocean Nomads is a global community for people who love the ocean and the wild outdoors. Members share boats and crew spots. On the member map you find hot springs, organic farms, provision spots and useful local contacts. It also shows the super cool parking spots, anchorages and places where you can be hosted or do an exchange. Now and then we meet up in real life for a sailing trip or a hike.
