Favorites of today

Time again for monthly favorites online. This time only two as I haven't had much time to look around on the Internet lately because of work. Besides of Sailing Anarchy and Nalden, these are the favorites of this month (and for many more months as well):

We Transfer - Seriously the tightest file sharing option online. Forget Dropbox, YouSend it and whatever else they're called, this is the real shit. Even with a super slow Caribbean wifi connection I managed to pass over four high res images (2-5 MB each) to Europe in less than five minutes the other day. Fucking genius of a software. And even better: The recipients do not need to install any software nor do they need any password or login to download the files you've sent them. And what else, almost forgot: It's free, no joke! Make sure to claim your own channel right now before someone else does it. Ours is worldtourstories.wetransfer.com Your own channel has a cost of course but if you don't need it, you can still send whatever files you want for $ 0. 

Life at 33 degrees - Suzy is the chef aboard a beautiful classic racing yacht called Mariquita. In her blog she shares some of the food, bread and drinks that she prepare for her crew. Her British heritage enriches this blog with traditional British recipes mixed with the influences she come across on their sailing and races around the most beautiful places in the world. This is one of my favorite food blogs and I love the fact that the writer lives (part time) aboard a classic yacht. Go follow Suzy's food stories here.

This weeks favorite links

Ancient Greek Sandals - I was amazed when I first found out about this brand. Such incredibly beautiful handmade sandals that fits my life here on the islands most perfectly. Christina Martini is a Greek born woman who've previously been designing shoes at Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga, but now created her first footwear line. Her sandals are the most perfect everyday footwear and they come in a wide variety of styles. I'm also happy to announce that my first pair just arrived with DHL. Will show you pics later on if that could be of any interest. 

My damn blog - Who knew Beyonce's sister was such a great photographer? If you are not interested in her (gorgeous) fashion posts, she also has some damn beautiful private travel shots on there. 

Miss Moss - A collection of the creative artist and South African native Diana's favorites in photography, design, fashion, music, art and so forth. She often features inspiring photographers which is one of the reasons I enjoy checking in on her blog. 

The horse's mouth - Jose is a funny guy who collects the most interesting images and videos concerning surfing, sailing, racing and all other activities that can be made in and on the water. Good inspiration and fun reading.

Foodgawker - OBSESSED with this site. An incredible amount of mouthwatering food, desserts, drinks you name it. Updated hundreds of times a day and combines recipes from tens of thousands of food blogs from all around the world. Only quality food photography allowed on there so beware you will probably be tempted to recreate and eat most of what you'll find on that site. Just click the images that you can't resist and you will get transfered to the recipe on belonging blog.

That's all for this week.. do let me know if you have some interesting favorite sites, brands or blogs that you think we/I would enjoy having a look at.

P.S: As old readers might have realized, I've just redesigned the blog a bit, (hope you like it) but I still haven't had the time to resize all images back in the blog so excuse me for the mess that is if you go back in time. All images will be resized soon I hope. If it only wasn't such a pain in the ass to do that manually..

Favorite links this week

There are so many inspiring sites and things out there which I occasionally run into while working and doing research so I thought I'd share some of those finds with you, once a week or so. Also I will take the opportunity to highlight our fantastic sponsors and companies we've worked with, to give something back for the support they've given our journey and this little blog of ours. Here's a mix of some of those and a few of our favorite sites of the week:

Audrey Victoria - Audrey Victoria is a media designer who's blogging stylishly about all things design, fashion, music, travel, art and that kind of lifestyle. Always inspiring short stories and a beautifully designed website.

Blogg-Bloggen - I usually stay away from gossip blogs but this new Swedish one is quite hilarious in fact. It's the Swedish version of the famous Perez Hilton and I foresee it becoming Sweden's most famous gossip blog in the nearest future. Fun also to read that they are enjoying our blog. Check out what they have to say about us here.

Aviators and a Camera - Kirsten is a traveler just like us, not a sailor but nonetheless she's out and about in this world, constantly flying from one place to another. She recently visited one of our dream destinations, Costa Rica, and I can't wait for her to publish some of those shots in her blog. She's more busy on her Twitter so check that one out too.

Babajaan - You've heard about our premium fashion sponsor Babajaan quite some times now if you're following this blog but I sincerely can't stop praising them. As a matter of fact, I could live in their sexy, beautiful, comfortable clothing and swimwear. Here on the seas and always close to beaches I don't need anything else than this and Babajaan covers all beach, sea and lounging needs I have in a fashionable way. Check out their latest collection on Net-a-Porter and do not forget to like them on Facebook (where you can find a few pics of me as well).

Mangolandia - There pops up new, young travel blogs everywhere on the world wide web and this particular one is beautifully made. Caye and Jaxon are sailors and plan to sail around the world in their Ranger 28. Currently they're visiting Caye's family in Ecuador but I think they'll continue their sailing adventures from Mississippi (where their boat is located) shortly. We love the photography on this site.

That's all for today, don't forget to shout if you have a link/brand/site you think we should check out.

There are so many inspiring sites and things out there which I occasionally run into while working and doing research so I thought I'd share some of those finds with you, once a week or so. Also I will take the opportunity to highlight our fantastic sponsors and companies we've worked with, to give something back for the support they've given our journey and this little blog of ours. Here's a mix of some of those and a few of our favorite sites of the week:

Spoon Fork Bacon - There's an endless amount of great food and cooking blogs out there but as I don't have much time to scroll through them all, it is always a pleasure to find one that covers most of my needs. Spoon Fork Bacon is a fantastically well made blog with stunning shots, perfect artwork and well written instructions. Very inspiring.

Orlebar Brown - One of our fashion sponsors for this journey. OB provide Alex with super sleek and stylish shorts and polos, very riviera style things with great quality. Are you looking for classy swim and beachwear for men, this is one of the best ones on the market. Glad to have such an elegant brand as Orlebar Brown joining our tour around the world.

Boats and Beautiful -  I found this tumblr after they published a few of our shots on there and I dig the collection they/she/he? have put together. Gorgeous pics of boats, beaches, summery beautiful people and all in between. Isn't it great when others put together inspiration boards for you? I love it.

Rue Mag - Now interior isn't usually of much interest to me as we live on a boat and sail the oceans of the world, but now when we have a new boat to refit and when she offers so many great ways to personalize our living space in the same, I do feel a need to get interior inspiration. It's a boat we have, not to confuse with a land-based home, but still there are ways to make our mobile home more homey. This is a very inspiring web magazine for the ones interested in interior and the beautiful things in life.

Seven Sails - Do you dream of doing what we are doing but don't have the time, interest or possibility to let go of everything and make it a full time living? There are many sailing charter companies out there but none that I came across which offers such young, unique and adventurous journeys as this one. This is basically a group of friends who've put together a charter business offering spectacular sailing vacations at amazing destinations around the world and you are free to join them on each of their travels. Choose either to rent a boat by yourself or leave the work and responsibilities to these cool people and all you have to do is follow the ride, explore magical destinations, beautiful waters and enjoy a vacation way more adventurous than any you've been to before. This is the way I'd roll if we wouldn't have our own boat to sail.

☞ Don't forget to share if you have a blog, site or brand you think I/we'd enjoy having a look at.
