Upcoming Expeditions
EXPEDITION ON WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU APPROACH LIFE, LIVE WITH NATURE & LOVE THE OCEAN
With Expedition ON, we are sailing from the Netherlands to Madeira (Leg 1 ) and Madeira to the Canary Islands (Leg 2) onboard Twister, a classic 36 meter schooner originally built in 1902.
A hands-on voyage for life, disconnecting from everything but nature, together with a likeminded bunch of Ocean Nomads. Driven by passion and purpose for the love of the ocean, exploration and creation of a conscious, true, authentic lifestyle.

EVENTs & Expeditions
Ocean Nomads events, gatherings and expeditions connect people to each other and to the ocean. Nothing brings people together like actually bringing people together. And nothing inspires us more than actual experience. We add nature and adventure into the mix, with our recipe for creating a big dose of positive energy and accelerating change for a common good. We provide ocean adventure and encourage low-impact travel.
How It Started
I didn’t grow up near the ocean, but during the now +13 years of nomadding, I learned to dive, surf, and freedive. Superpowered by the ocean sports, driven by curiousity, and with an urge to learn and explore more, I just had to move to the sea. I discovered sailing boats as an alternative means of travel. Since, I’ve boathitchhiked +30.000 miles of on a variety of sailing vessels in every ocean. I then got the captains papers so I can take others sailing and share what the magic is all about. Because I believe to get the ocean truly in your heart, you need to experience the ocean. With Ocean Nomads I aim to connect more of you to each other, the sea, and a more conscious way of life on and near the sea.
