The concept of free cruising throughout the world's waters as a member of a crew conjures up one of the ultimate romantic images for budget travelers. But just how realistic is this dream?
"You'll discover that enjoying this type of adventure is based more on personality rather than gender, age or occupation," writes Alison Muir Bennett and Clare Davis in her book, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Oceans: Crewing Around the World."
From personal experience I can say a definate yes it is realistic. There is no better way of travelling the world than by crewing on a yacht.
Traveling the world by sailing yachts is a truly fantastic and rewarding way to see the world. You will gain a greater appreciation for distances and the size of our planet. You will return to nature, experience life with a stronger sense of connection to the universe, and return with unforgettable stories. There is no question that once you have crossed an ocean under sail your life will have changed for the better.
