We're Michael and Alexa Z

The biggest couple of unconventionally conventional people you'll ever meet. A millennial-generation husband and wife team with two kids, healthcare day jobs, a real estate investment business, and a huge drive to live outside the box.

We've had a grand 10 year plan in mind for the last nine years but never have fully elucidated it until now. We want to buy a catamaran sailboat, and start leading dual land and sea lives: traveling the world by boat six months out of the year, and enjoying our home and land pursuits for the other six months.

Come with us as we track our journey from land to sea, shoring up our finances, preparing our kids, transitioning our jobs and business, and learning to sail.

The Beginning is Now

Watch as we set the stage for our dream life.
