“What would you do if you could freely choose?” I took this picture of myself roughly 15 years ago. It was the day that I turned my life upside down. It was the moment I realized: staying in my 'old life' would hurt more than risking everything for the life I actually wanted. I have not regretted this decision. I surely have struggled on this path, but I’m still out here—still learning, still sailing, still choosing the unknown. Because this is the life I freely choose. This isn’t a how-to. It’s a reminder that your “what if” might be worth the risk. Even if it’s messy. Even if it’s hard. Even if you fail. Maybe especially then. This post is inspired by my morning meditation that gifted me this quote: "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." – Anaïs Nin When is your blossom day? #AlternativeLiving #IntentionalLiving #NomadLife #TinyLiving #SimpleLiving #DigitalNomadLife #LiveYourTruth #LifeRedesigned #RewriteYourStory #CreateTheLifeYouLove #StartLiving #LiveDifferently #ConsciousLiving #BreakTheMold #DreamChasers #DareToBlossom #BlossomDay #SailingLife #SailAwayFromOrdinary #SailingAdventure #SailingCommunity #SoulfulEntrepreneur #HealingJourney #FreedomLifestyle #LifeOffTheGrid #CampfireConversations ⇩ Join the wonderful support crew that makes these videos possible and get instant access to behind the scene footage, regular real time updates and even join some of the most magic moments of this journey during a live feed ⇩ ► YOUTUBE CHANNEL MEMBERSHIP https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkYfFeySHGN4DPrOc9So7PA/join ► PATREON http://www.patreon.com/WhiteSpotPirates ⇩ Wanna buy me a drink or a treat for Boga? ⇩ ► PAY PAL https://www.paypal.me/whitespotpirates **** Join me on an inspiring journey that began with buying and refitting my Reinke Super 10 sailboat called KARL. Facing the challenges of solo sailing as a female sailor, I navigated the highs and lows of single-handed sailing while tackling DIY boat repair projects, from engine fixes to full boat refits on a budget. My life aboard was a mix of adventure and reflection, shaping an independent woman’s story of resilience, personal growth, and embracing the sailing lifestyle. Along the way, I became an ocean conservation activist with In Mocean, stumbled across my dog Boga, and discovered the joys and challenges of sailing with a dog. Now, I’m exploring a new chapter, having jumped aboard my partner’s Hallberg Rassy Rasmus with Boga and his Australian Kelpie, Jango. Together, we face the unique dynamics and challenges of sailing as a couple, balancing off-grid life, sustainable sailing, and the demands of long-term cruising. If you’re interested in remote sailing adventures, authentic sailing stories, and the realities of living on a sailboat, this channel offers a glimpse into the world of DIY projects, the sailing lifestyle, and life’s transformative moments on the water. Follow along for inspiring stories that reflect on the beauty of sailing, personal growth, and chasing dreams—one wave at a time.

Where can you eat cactus burger? In Guatiza, north of Lanzarote, there is cactus garden with more than 1000 species of cactuses. SUBSCRIBE NOW! - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC23PA_upiMig85UVSPfkidg It is easy to recognize from the road, because of the huge metal cactus at the entrance. This garden is the last work of Caesar Manrique on this island. The tourists here can enjoy the nature itself, and the calmness of the path decorated with rocks where you can walk, and enjoy the beauty of Lanzarote. One of the key elements of Caesar Manrique’s architectural work is respecting the nature. It can be seen in the cactus garden, which fits perfectly in the island’s landscape. The windmill overtowers the black rock and is one of the best places to give us a wonderful view of the of the garden which was built in amphitheater shape. During the visit we can relax by the small lake in the garden, or drink a refreshment, and eat a cactus burger in the cafeteria. The KUNDALINI SAILING TEAM starts from here to conquer the Canary Islands. Travel with us and live the KUNDALINI feeling. THE STORY ¯̅¯̅¯̅¯̅¯̅¯̅¯̅¯̅¯̅ My affection for sailing started when I was a child. Once, when I was on holiday at Lake Balaton, near to Fonyod city, I glanced a slim and beautiful sailing boat emerging from behind the reeds. It was love at first sight! Unfortunately, as I grown up in the Great Plain of Hungary, I could not get near to sailing. Because of that, I was just staring at boats through my father’s binoculars, sitting on the shore during my holidays. It was a classic, heavy, black, Russian binocular. I was just walking around the boats in the harbour, looking at them, and making dreams. I managed to get close to shipping in 2006. At that time I settled down with a 25 foot sailboat in the harbour of Balatonaliga. I have been dealing with shipping since that time. The usual inland adventures came after that: circling around Lake Balaton many times and mostly alone. Later Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, Spain and France followed, and I even managed to sail in Norway, for two weeks. At the beginnings, I used to try to partner up with others. I kept my eyes open, made observations and learnt a lot. We used to participate in competitions at the Adriatic Sea, but all of these were not enough – maybe it is not the best word here – for me. Somehow it was not a complete thing… I wanted to sail alone… alone and a lot. Then some years alone came on the Mediterranean Sea. That was an amazing period in my life. I crossed the ocean two times. I went to the Caribbean, the Far East, and so on. I visited these places alone in most cases. It became clear to me that I must deal with sailing… I had to find a boat suitable for taking a journey around the world, which has a higher comfort level compared to those ones I used before. I used to cross the ocean by a boat in which did not even have a bed … I slept on a large backwind sail. I know life is not easy. I could be at home, watching TV programs broadcasted by National Geographic or travel channels. That would be safe, but I prefer to face challenges of everyday life: I make things fixed, I do sewing, cooking, fishing and I am ready to stay up at night, to be soaked by rain and so on. I want to be here … where everything is so different. This way is everything is so fine and complete for me. Soon I will reach the 30,000th marine mile. I found Kundalini in March of 2017. In April, I arrived with four suitcases (three of which contained tools) with my friend, Tomi on board and together we started performing those endless tasks, which have already been listed by that time. There is no part of the boat which would not have been polished, cut, replaced or painted in the five months. I know the boat well! 1st of September – almost ready to start the journey! 9th of September – my girlfriend and I left Athen by the Kundalini (BLOG). Journey has started! We reached Gibraltar through Greek, Albanian, Italian, French and Spanish waters and sailed to the ocean. I am writing these lines in the port of Guadaloupe, Terre de Haut city. There is a great deal of memory of adventure, landscape, taste and experience behind our backs. I feel that I have managed to build a boat which I was always craving for. Travel with us and live the KUNDALINI feeling.
