Ever wanted to sail off into the sunset in search of your true destiny, just you and the sea... embracing your inner 'salty scallywag' by island hopping your way around the earth on a magical adventure? Liz Clark is an amazing individual that has been living on her boat on a solo voyage doing just that. Liz is a surfer, writer, environmentalist, and ambassador of light and love who has captained her 40-ft sailboat, 'Swell', 15000 miles around the Pacific.

Chai With An Activist
Additional Info
When I hear the word 'hippie' I have flashes of images behind my eyes that stereotype the colourful movement of the 1970's, of loose parties my parents dragged us kids along to playing loud trippie music, and lots of hair! So you can understand my pleasure when I got to meet 'modern day' hippie, Lauren Hill ( free surfer, thinker and cool chick). Lauren is an educated, passionate person concerned about our Ocean and marine animals. Focused on treading softly on the earth and living a sustainable lifestyle while raising awareness and catching some waves.

Her website www.awaveaday.com shares the journey of her 'Pink Board Project'. Sarah started her challenge on the 1st of May 2011, with over half the year surfed already Sarah reflects on her achievement.
"It started off slow, I felt like I was plugging along and barley getting anywhere... like it was going to be a LONG year! But now with only about 100 days left, I am amazed at how fast it has flown by! I am constantly reminded that my efforts are making a difference by the emails I receive from someone who the project has touched or inspired".
Getting To Know Amy Kotch
Additional Info
Amy Kotch's story starts with day dreaming of perfect waves, watching the sun drop into the never ending crystal clear tropical waters of the Maldives, and coconut palms littering the white sand of the shore. Understandably one can be completely envious of Amy Kotch's dream job…Being the first woman to land a job as the resident surf guide at the Four Seasons Resort back in the day. Amy now lives a nomadic lifestyle with her Husband working in the Maldives for six months of the year on 'HudhuranFushi Resort' and this year helping out Allois at Pohnpei Surf Club in Micronesia for the remainder of the year.
