We traded our sailing catamaran for a camper to put van life to the test in New Zealand. How do power, water, and waste stack up on land? Can it match the freedom of cruising? Or is it just another carefully filtered dream? Join us, as we find out whether the open road feels like home.

We normally live on our 52' catamaran sailing and traveling the world. If you enjoy sailing adventures and travel subscribe to our channel!

If you're new here, Harbors Unknown is the story of two dreamers, Kristin & Fabio Potenti, and our dog Yoda. We're a small family living aboard our catamaran, SV Wanderlust, sailing to Harbors Unknown. Exploring the world, connecting with people and places through the local cuisine, and showing how great food can be cooked on a boat with limited space and resources. Seeking to balance the desire to explore and travel to beautiful, remote locations while leaving no footprint, minimizing the Hawthorne effect of the observers who change the environment she or he observes.

We hope to inspire people and showcase the possibility of living an alternative lifestyle that provides freedom and fulfillment, all while keeping it real. Sharing the trials and tribulations of living off-grid, acknowledging the discomfort of detoxing from the modern world, finding pleasure in the subtleties of nature and joy in simplicity. Attempting to understand what makes the world tick and tock but also trying to gain a deeper comprehension of ourselves and identify what will satisfy that hunger for further exploration, for purpose. We have set off on our voyage sailing around the world! Subscribe now to join our sailing adventure.
