The thought of sailing the world, seeing different destinations, and meeting people from all over, isn’t just something for retirees anymore.
There are actually opportunities available for individuals who are able-bodied to volunteer on the deck of a tall ship – that being a ship with masts and sails, the whole deal- and travel from port to port, with your only payment being volunteer work on for the ship. You can pick a departure and destination, hop on, and be on your way. These voyages take place either for a day, weeks, months, or as long as it takes to trek the entire planet. Wow!
I had the pleasure of speaking with a gentleman who had actually participated in this on and off for about five years, and he couldn’t say enough good things about it. He referred me to http://www.sailtraining.org/ to find out more information.
