The holidays are upon us. And, for the crew of Vacilando, it's the second year in a row that we'll be celebrating Christmas and New Years outside the United States. Last year we were in Antigua, Guatemala. This year, we're in the vibrant city of Guanajuato, Mexico. The high elevation (6800 ft.) means crisp, chilly mornings and temperate sunny days.

News Flash! I am no Ashton Kutcher.

November 26, 2018 by Chris

Hi everyone! As you know, we've been living and traveling through Latin America since we sold V in September of 2017. It's been an incredible experience, and one that we never imagined would have continued for this long.

August 19, 2018 by Chris

The lighting is equivalent to sleeping in grocery store and the … [Read more...]

The Sweet River

July 19, 2018 by Chris

ABOUT US

CHRIS: Singer/Songwriter and author from Philly, (and also the author of this blog), transplanted to Nashville, took a break from the music biz and somehow convinced his girlfriend (now wife) to live on a boat and began writing books. You can check out his music on iTunes or his books on Amazon.

MELODY: Thought her husband was crazy for wanting to live on a boat, but never one to shy away from an adventure, decided to play along and fell in love with cruising. She blogs about how to make money while cruising at Saving to Sail and helps solopreneurs build 6-figure digital product businesses at Soloprenista.

JET: Dutch Shepherd rescue who traveled more miles in his 14 years than most people do in a lifetime. Refuses to vacuum his own hair and instead insists on shrimp tails and belly rubs. (Update: Jet crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Sunday, May 23, 2021 but will always be our favorite crew member and is dearly missed.)
