The Learning By Doing YouTube channel is an inspiring tale of a Kiwi adventurer, Vernon, and his French partner, Marie-Morgane, as they travel on a journey of a lifetime. To circumnavigate the globe, this couple, who initially had no sailing experience, decided to dive headfirst into the challenge. Today, they document their experiences on their custom-built 39ft catamaran, Trade Runner, bringing their audience along for the ride.
Their mission is to showcase the joys and hardships of the nomadic, ocean-going lifestyle while fostering awareness of the natural world. From sailing tips to heartwarming adventures, Learning By Doing is filled with captivating content to inspire anyone considering a life of adventure and exploration. In addition, the channel provides a glimpse into the unique cultures and beautiful locations they visit along the way.
With regular updates and candid storytelling, Vernon, Marie-Morgane, and their newborn son, Eli, share their experiences with their loyal followers every Monday/Tuesday (depending on the timezone). Whether it’s overcoming challenges at sea or making memorable connections with people from across the world, their story is one of perseverance and discovery.
Supporters can engage with their content on Instagram, YouTube, and Patreon, helping them keep the videos rolling as they continue their circumnavigation. Their goal is to inspire others to explore alternative lifestyles while spreading the love for the oceans and the adventurous spirit.
