The couple carefully crafts their stories to showcase these hidden pockets of the globe without judgment or prejudice. Over the past nine years, Sailing Nahoa has exemplified genuine curiosity and has inspired thousands to live more intentionally and pursue their goals. But it wasn’t always this way for Ben and Ashley.
Over 10 years ago, the couple found themselves deeply entrenched in the corporate world and despite their comfortable lives Ben and Ashley found themselves yearning for more. Their successful careers and cozy home couldn’t quell a sense of restlessness, a craving for escape from the monotony of daily routines
Sailing the world had always been a dream for Ashley and Ben, a distant dream of adventure amid the hustle and bustle of their corporate lives. However, it wasn’t until a tragic turn of events jolted them into action. Ashley’s sudden loss of her father to aggressive skin cancer served as a stark reminder of life’s fragility, prompting the couple to reassess their priorities. A soul-stirring trip to the British Virgin Islands solidified their resolve, propelling them to actively pursue their long-held dream and transform it into reality.
Six years after their transformative vacation in the BVI’s, Ben and Ashley had meticulously saved and were ready to make a bold move. With unwavering determination and a willingness to part with all their possessions, they secured a catamaran of their own. Freed from the constraints of mortgages and car payments, they embarked on an audacious voyage across vast seas, braving storms, overcoming mechanical challenges, and embracing the unique adventure of raising their two young children amidst the ever-changing waves of the open ocean.
Though their first year at sea presented financial hurdles, Ben and Ashley remained undeterred. Instead of succumbing to the pressures of returning to the corporate grind, they pivoted to YouTube. Through raw and unfiltered storytelling, they shared their exhilarating adventures, inspiring fellow adventurers to break free from societal norms and pursue their dreams. It was during this second year of sailing that their YouTube channel, Sailing Nahoa, began to soar, reaching a wide audience with captivating insights into their global escapades spanning an impressive 30 countries.
