“For a lot of people traveling is for a vacation for short moments of time. For me, I was born into it. My parents were always traveling on the boat and I was born and brought onboard at 10 days old. I sailed around the world twice before I was 13. I never had time to go to school so I learned through home schooling and all the different cultures we came across. I also learned to speak five languages along the way. Now that I don’t live on the boat anymore I still travel all the time. It’s all my life and it’s part of me and I will always travel because I can’t stay in one place for more then than two months.” --Teiki Ballian
