We are still thinking and dreaming and changing our minds every single day…

We are Duca and Roberta, a Brazilian couple trying to find our own path through life. During a sabbatical trip (in the year of 2016) around Australia, Indonesia, Thailand and New Zealand we decided that it was about time to start following our dream, it was time to put our hearts full time on our dream project.

 

Well, in our humble opinion life is way too complex to be described in one sentence, or in only one project.

With this clear in our minds, we decided to create what we called "the mother project", that is the connection to many other projects, and we called it "Odd Life Crafting".

 

Odd Life Crafting is the connection between all our passions and dreams. It's a life long project composed by many smaller projects that we call seasons.

Season one was all about the creation of Odd Life Crafting

Season two, or "Living Tiny Project" was a weekly YouTube series about our journey building ourselves, without any prior experience, our own Tiny Shipping Container House

Watch season TWO

Season three was for sure the most challenging one so far. After buying a 44ft steel sailboat that was neglected for over 22 years, we moved 700km away from our hometown with the mission of bringing this boat back to life and to transform her into our floating home that can take us to explore anywhere in the world.

Watch season THREE

After a two years sailboat refit, we are one more time about to step outside of our comfort zone.
