We Questioned Everything… Was This Life a Mistake?

We’ve been living this life for 7 years now… Sailing, travelling, exploring — it looks like a dream. But behind the scenes, there are parts no one really talks about. In this episode, we open up about one of the hardest challenges we’ve faced as a family — something that made us stop and question everything. Because when you choose a different path… it doesn’t just affect you. ⛵ From the UK to life on board Holly Blue 🌍 Years of travel, freedom, and unforgettable moments 💬 But also the realities of raising kids in a constantly changing world This is a more honest look at boat life — the parts that don’t always make it into the highlight reel. 🎓 This episode is supported by Minerva Virtual Academy One of the biggest turning points for us was finding the right structure for our kids’ education while living this lifestyle. Minerva Virtual Academy has been a huge part of that — providing: ✔ A flexible, fully online British curriculum ✔ Consistent education no matter where we are in the world ✔ Structure and routine that we realised our kids really needed If you’re living abroad, travelling, or simply looking for a different approach to schooling, it’s well worth a look. 👉 Learn more here: https://www.minervavirtual.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=youtube&utm_campaign=sailinghollyblue If this episode resonates with you, or you’ve faced something similar, we’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. 👍 Like & subscribe to follow our journey 🔔 New episodes every month.
