Sharing is caring!

Have you ever wondered how to sail around the world and live life without limiting beliefs?

This week I speak with Kach Howe who is an entrepreneur, traveler, and sailor!

Kach and her husband Jonathan met while backpacking through Asia and soon became inseparable.

From backpackers, to travel bloggers and now sailors they have gone on a journey to over 100 countries and seven continents together.

Kach aims to be one of the first Asian women to travel all the countries in the world with her Philippine Passport, a feat that is not easy to conquer!

Although Kach and Jonathan loved to travel, they knew that they could not sustain a lifestyle as travel bloggers.

So, they decided to let go of their travel blog in order for Jonathan to focus on sailing and Kach to continue to travel the world without the stress.

Today they live on their sailboat and have created a new blog Mr. and Mrs. Howe that focuses on helping their amazing readers live the life they truly want to live.

Listen on to find out how to sail around the world and live life without limiting beliefs.
