Life on a Catamaran with Nina & Flo Orley

Flo and Nina Orley shared a dream that they put on pause with the birth of their first child - to sail around the world. At the time, the Austrian couple had already sailed halfway learning the ropes as they went intoxicated by the riches the sea offered. But with their family growing, they headed back to Innsbruck, Austria - Flo to continue competing on the Freeride World Tour and developing his career as a professional extreme snowboarder while Nina worked and took care of the children. With their kids (Momo and  Keano) approaching an age that they would be comfortable at sea again, the Orley’s began planning their second attempt. From the Alps they began searching for a boat to house their family for potentially years at sea traveling the world. They would make many sacrifices to afford what was coming next and to also leave the comforts and security of their home.  However when we recorded this podcast, Flo and Nina were hitting their stride having just done a multiway passage to Venezuela aboard a 40 foot catamaran. In this episode they discuss why they left, how their kids grew on the adventure and why making sacrifices are worth it to fulfill a lifelong dream. From their photos alone, you can see that their time at sea was truly intoxicating.  After two years at sea sailing primarily through the Caribbean the Orley’s reluctantly returned to Austria after an unexpected illness in their family. They sold their catamaran, Snowflake and are now home, living the life they once did, a little bit older, wiser, blonder and more inspired in the world in which we live!  You can follow the next leg of their journey at:  www.instagram.com/sailawayfamily www.sailawayfamily.com ABOUT THE PODCAST Rewilding Parenthood is a podcast featuring families leading bold and courageous lifestyles.
