Your Trip Leaders

We're proud and excited to have these ocean nomad legends run our next trip! Decades of lived adventure, expedition and outdoor lifestyle experience.

Thomas Van Thiel

After years of preparation, this year Thomas sets sail with his own expedition vessel to the Artic (starting off a very special Atlantic ocean impact expedition which is still a little secret)! Our Canary Islands trip may be the last opportunity to sail with this legend liveaboard, instructor, NGO founder and offshore sailing enthusiast.

Thomas and his expedition vessel: SV Windfall:

With more than 50,000 nautical miles of offshore sailing experience, he has developed extensive knowledge in long-distance navigation, seamanship, offshore training, and boat preparation

A born and raised sailor, ocean activist, and passionate educator, Thomas brings a wealth of experience, energy, and dedication to every ON trip.

Jonatan Bjorkman

Jonatan is an experienced outdoor adventurer and storyteller with over 10,000+ km. of long-distance hiking across islands and countries, like the PCT, Appalachian Trail and many more trails in the world, including the Canary Islands, and + 500 wildcamp nights.

He lives full-time in a van, kite and ski instructor, freedive fanatic and is training for his yachtmaster.

If he's not wild camping or sailing, he lives in his self built van and nomad beach home.

Jonatan is known for creating a communal hands-on vibe, sharing practical skills such as bread baking, outdoor living, resourcefulness and wild skills in nature.

You’ll find him guiding, sharing (hilarious) adventure stories, and making sure you'll try something new and get ideas for a life lived differently.

The Ripple Effect

It's just the beginning...

This is not just an expedition you join for a week and that’s it. This is an experience that will change the way you approach life, nature and the ocean. ON expeditions are just the beginning for plotting the next course in your life. By jumping on board this voyage, you will also join our expanding global network of impact-driven travelers, ocean entrepreneurs, sailors, (free)divers, surfers, and active salty souls passionate about the ocean and eager to do good.

On our community platform we continue the conversation, action, team-ups and meet-ups before and beyond our events and expeditions to maximize the impact, fun, and ripple effects for ocean adventure and action. We got your back on this expedition and the journey after.

We are building a global regenerative network uniting adventurers, creators, and cultivators of a life lived differently, lightly, travel consciously, and protect the planet they explore.

Whether you join us on a trip or not, our network community is open to all the wild hearts. To sprinkle more adventure, impact and community in your life today, wherever you are, and be the first to learn and apply for new trips.

Small Crew. Big Impact

This is THE opportunity to deepen connections with the Ocean Nomads family (in real life), get in some real ocean sailing experience, accelerate and enhance your ocean-nomad lifestyle, and experience the beautiful sunny Canary Islands and all that comes with it, together!

Or maybe you simply want to dip your toes into this wild lifestyle living with the ocean. We make sure we hit a nice trail and explore wild places below the surface and on the volcano.

Some of us on board are training for their Yachtmaster so we work on the captain skills too. We're a small group so we can cater for individual wishes.
​
The best part of this opportunity though is the people you’ll sail with. We are a special mix of nomads living life differently, by sail, van or foot. Some of us are liveaboards (on other boats).

What we have in common is a big heart for nature and a decision to not settle and instead explore the world 🌍 lots of stories, learnings and connections to share and gain.

We create a small intimate crew and have limited spots left, so be decisive and let the adventure begin!

Life is too short to not live your wildest most memorable life!
