A Puffin, a Crustacean, and No Tour Bus in Sight
Check out our blog: SHARE FAIR ISLE for our day-to-day happenings—from puffin sightings to seafood feasts.
In December 2020, Sarah and I spent three magical weeks on Fair Isle. After celebrating the holidays in West Sussex, we parted ways: Sarah went to Disney's private island, Castaway Cay, to provide nursing care, and I remained in South Florida working remotely with the US Navy. Now, we’re back in beautiful Fair Isle—where Scotland meets Scandinavia.

It’s important that expedition history include regular people like us—Sarah and Ed—who document their global travels in real-time. Travel isn’t just activity; it’s resilience, especially when borders closed during the pandemic.
Our motto? "Planning is everything, but the plan means nothing." Pandemic travel taught us: flexibility is your greatest skill.

We've circumnavigated the globe seven times. It’s all documented—photos, blogs, and videos across Facebook, Instagram, Blogger, and YouTube.
When your future self guides your present decisions, life accelerates. As Diane Ackerman said, “The plain everythingness of everything…” becomes undeniable.
Extraordinary outcomes begin with small steps. My mantra was always, "I want to travel around the world." I did—one port at a time, mostly by sea.
