We're not really sure how to start this so as most conversations start with this word, we thought it would be a good start... "Hello" (as Yaz said one night in her most well-spoken English accent to Luana as she tried to wake her for night watch recently).

We're Yaz (24 years old) and Tom (25 years) from a rugby town called Twickenham in London, England - you might know it if you're into international rugby, but if not don't worry, we tend to just say 'London' when people ask where we're from.

Before finding ourselves crossing the Pacific Ocean on a sailing yacht with Luana, Romano and their friend Bruno we were both in media jobs. Tom studied Advertising at university and went on to work in a swish Social Media start up agency. Yaz studied Journalism at University and then landed herself a swanky job in a top PR and Events agency where she worked with some big clients.

Before we had any major commitments like a house, a car, gas bills or KIDS we decided to travel. Except we wanted to do something bigger than just travelling and were keen to learn some skills in the process. So here we are, sailing the Pacific Ocean as crew on A Go Go and as we write this we're approaching The Galapagos Islands with the sun shining after an 8 day passage from Panama. What could be better?

We actually began hitch hiking the Pacific Ocean as crew 5 months ago in Los Angeles, to read more about the trip check out The Bloggiest Bloggy Blog: http://bloggiestbloggyblog.com/ and if you're interested in doing something similar read the 'A different way of traveling the world (and for free-ish too)' post.
