I Quit My Job To Kayak The Mediterranean Sea And Took A Dog (3 Years & 5000km So Far)
27Kviews
Quit my job to travel the sea by kayak. From my home town, Barcelona, till Sicily along the coastline and many many islands. I have paddled over 5.000 km within 3 year. Slow enough to not miss too much.
I found a dog on the way, and now she lives aboard as a sailor dog. We discover new places and cultures together, making thousands of friends along the Mediterranean coast. The journey continues!

I'm glad for him and his dog, but seriously, any time I see an article titled like "I quit my job to *insert travelling goal*" it makes me feel like unemployment is not a real problem.
Without quitting the job, I would have not been able to travel/live in this way. Why do you think I earned for doing anything..? There are other ways to handle money without having a job, for example paying less stuff. Or fishing on the go. We only need food, water and not get cold when sleeping. That's possible if you know how. Travelling alone pushes you to learn new skills, to deal differently. Maybe also making money on a different way. My goal was independent from money, but the freedom to travel without a dateline.
Depens how much stuff you want to pay with your job salarie.
Uffff.... Typos....

Then how about instead of starting the title with an "I quit my job to" use an "I worked so I could earn for"? Quitting one's job puts the priority on the work and working place, which people commonly have the goal of earning for a living, or sustain their families. One the other hand, there are people who work becausw they need money for a particular goal, like paying for a big dread trip, or a higher education, in which case they don't quit the job, they've just... Completed their intended goals.
wow! id like to do something like this and I have something in my mind but... how can he sustain himself and the dog? how he can pay for his food or house or everything he may need? I really would like to know that!
look at all the sponsor stickers on his kayak. that might be a clue...
No sponsonrs, and that is good for the moment. Just friends or collaborators.
I think those are stickers from all the places he has been to
I already paid for my house 4 years ago, a tent of 60€. Food and other spenses are covered with the seashell necklaces that I do on the go, and that people take with a free offer.
not the worst paid job in the world you quitted I suppose...
Just ask him????
Absolutely love this!!!!! This is how to live.
