I would also spend time in a car for a few years, doing things like a bit of fishing and camping. My dream career was to sail.
In 2010, I embarked on a two-year journey, starting as a student in the UK and then having my first year in England when I met my wife and family. One of my first sailing trips was to Devon in October 2012, where I met the couple's son and daughter. I enjoyed the trip so much that I decided to embark on a six-month sail with them at the end of March 2013 when my first summer holiday.
I had been in the UK with my wife and family for eight years. The only thing I had to do was look after our two young children, and they were enjoying their summer and winter holidays. We decided that we were going to take a short holiday at the base of the English Channel, and we would board a ferry to take us to Devon, where we would meet our family and friends. The trip was a two-day one, in a little over two weeks, and we got to know each other very well. I remember a lot of the people we met and even our mother, who was one of the first to come to a decision that we needed to make, was very friendly.
I did it on my own, and my wife and I went to Devon three times. We bought a small boat from a local fishing company who then leased one of the boats for us to sail with – it was quite expensive, so we did not have much to do at the time. We had to sail again in the fall of 2013 and then to Devon again in January 2014.
We arrived in Devon in early January 2015, and were immediately greeted by a very happy and smiling couple. We were welcomed with open arms and hugged with the whole family.
It was a great feeling, and I was very proud of the support I got from the people who supported me. I was very lucky to have had the chance to meet these people because they made an incredible difference to my life and my family.
It was a long and wonderful journey, and I am so happy that I was able to get the opportunity to continue sailing. I learned a lot about myself
