The crew

We are Sam & Nicole behind the YouTube channel Sailing Beaver, a couple from Australia and Norway who met in Mexico in 2013 and have been hanging out ever since. We spent years travelling to different parts of the world seeking new experiences whilst living in budget accomodation and a common theme that came up was that we were both always drawn to the ocean. Eventually the idea of exploring different corners of the world from the comforts of your home became a reality, we found a way of travelling and living that would be in harmony with nature and its constant changes. With guaranteed ocean views and challenges that gave room for us to develop our knowledge, skills and ourselves. This desire to step out of our comfort zone and pursue new adventures and experiences in remote parts of the world is what started us on our sailing journey as we bought our very first sailboat in 2017. The chapters that followed involved a series of steep learning curves, a great deal of foul language, some matter of fact lessons learnt all in a rather challenging degree of latitude being 59 north on the West coast of Norway. That being said, the early challenges have now evolved into a passion for offshore sailing and its unique lifestyle which has allowed us to experience and share the places that takes us and all the ups and downs associated.
