The Round the World Wanderer

Inspired by a true story

Herausgeber: Miller, Nicky

Beschreibung

"You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore." When Sandra decided to run away to sea to explore what's behind the horizon, she wasn't expecting to sail past blue whales, chase a hurricane, slide down waves the size of a house, live inside a leaking cabin, or shower from a bucket. The Round the World Wanderer is a tale about finding the courage to chase your dreams, wherever they take you - inspired by the true story of the author as Round the Worlder on the Unicef boat in the Clipper 2019-20 Round the World Yacht Race. Come on board an ocean racing yacht and experience sailing around the world, browsing through 32 pages of full-colour traditional illustrations, hand painted with watercolour pencils, gouache and Indian black ink on a 300g/m2 watercolour paper by Fanny Ozda. "This book is a wonderful way to encourage the spirit of adventure in our young people." - Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, First person to ever sail solo, non-stop around the world and win the 1969 Golden Globe Race. This picture book is perfect for 3 to 5-year-old explorers, girls and boys.

Autor

Sandra spent the last ten years working in Tech, Consulting and Finance, across Europe and Asia Pacific, before deciding to quit it all and start sailing around the world. She's a Round the Worlder in the Clipper 2019-20 Round the World Yacht Race onboard Unicef. She is also the Team Coordinator - the crew manager: setting up the boat systems, job rotas, crew schedules and managing the boat relationship with the Race Office and outside world - all with the objective to improve the boat's overall racing performance. Born French, she's visited over 65 countries and has thousands of travel anecdotes to tell. She's been to Antarctica - twice - once with Robert Swan OBE and then as a UN Women Ambassador. Sandra is also an engaged environmental activist. She hasn't got a home, she's a travelling nomad who lives out of her suitcase.
