Sailing, Simplicity, and the Pursuit of Happiness, began in 2008 when Teresa made a dramatic change to chase her dreams. She gave up a whole lot of stability for the unstable plan to live aboard a sailboat and take on odd jobs to support her lifestyle, and selling handcrafted items on her Etsy shop. In the following two years she lived aboard a small 27 foot sailboat named Daphne with only her cat Dory for company. Its not a house, but it was home, its not a car, but she traveled a blue road. For two years she sailed, explored, and discovered what simple living meant to her and shared it all on this blog. Writing helped her, blog readers inspired her. Now, she sails with her partner Ben and their cat Dory aboard their 28ft Bristol Channel Cutter Elizabeth.

Teresa’s goal is to share her personal exploration of simple living, to help sailors with life aboard, and to inspire others to chase their own creative dream through honest and uplifting writing.
