with Boy Meets Ocean

What happens when a 13-year-old trades a traditional childhood for life aboard a catamaran?

In this episode of Before Someday, Sarah sits down with Atticus from Boy Meets Ocean to talk about growing up on the water, exploring remote islands, and seeing the world through a child’s eyes.

After his family decided to leave land life behind, Atticus quickly discovered that boat life was more than just adventure. It became a journey of confidence, independence, family connection, and appreciation for the natural world.

He shares:

• The moment he realized his childhood was different from most kids his age
• Why he wishes his family had started boat life sooner
• The experience of swimming with a wild dolphin in Guadeloupe
• The challenges nobody sees behind the sunsets and adventures
• Why he believes making friends on a boat can be easier than on land
• How worldschooling gives him more freedom to explore and learn
• The lessons his dad has taught him that he’ll carry for life

Atticus's story is a reminder that adventure isn’t something you wait for someday. Sometimes you have to take the first step and create it yourself.

Stop waiting. Start living.
