A floating classroom of discovery, where the ocean connects us, cultures teach us, and every journey shapes a more informed and united humankind.
I’ve carried this vision since I was 10 years old
...a school boat!
It's a vision that makes the world more accessible to those who think they can't afford the important experience of global exploration.
I believe travel is the most powerful educator,
breaking down barriers,
expanding perspectives, and
making the world feel smaller in the best way possible.
When people experience different cultures firsthand,
they develop understanding, respect, and a deep sense of connection
—foundations for lasting peace.
By opening doors to international experiences,
we can inspire a new generation of global citizens
—people who engage with the world thoughtfully,
contribute to their communities, and
take an active role in shaping a better future.
I envision a world where travel isn’t a privilege for the few
yet a transformative opportunity for anyone.
Would you like to help make this vision a reality?
A floating classroom of discovery, where the ocean connects us, cultures teach us, and every journey shapes a more informed and united world.
For nearly two decades, this vision has been growing—a school at sea that brings young travelers on transformative learning voyages, expanding their worldviews, fostering cultural respect, and helping them uncover vocations that ignite enthusiasm rather than settling for unfulfilling work.
This initiative is designed to provide an experiential education that goes beyond textbooks. Students will navigate the seas while engaging in hands-on learning—immersing themselves in global cultures, practicing sustainability, and serving the communities they visit.
By making travel accessible to those who never imagined stepping onto a ship, we believe we can cultivate a generation of world citizens who see humanity as one family.
Join us in bringing this vision to life.
