This Woman Sailing Around The World Is Looking For A Travel Partner (Photos)

by Kaylin Pound

About 10 years ago, Liz Clark ditched her day job as a bartender and made her dreams of living life on the high seas come true.

Clark set sail in 2005 after her retired professor, Dr. Arent H. Schuyler, gave her a Cal 40 sailboat and encouraged her to pursue her passion of traveling the world.

However, there was one simple condition: Clark had to share her amazing experiences by documenting her adventures along with way.

According to Clark,

I knew this trip would be everything I loved in one -- a simple, eco-friendly lifestyle close to nature, searching for remote uncrowded waves, learning from other cultures, challenging myself physically and mentally, and going on an open-ended adventure.

It took Clark three years to prep for her ocean endeavors and learn the ropes of sailing, but it was well worth the wait.

However, life on the open seas can get pretty lonely, so now Clark is looking for the perfect sailing partner to join her voyage around the world.

Take a look at the pictures below to photos from Clark's epic sailing adventures.

Meet Liz Clark.

She quit her bartending job 10 years ago...

...and set off on an epic journey sailing around the world.

Clark left her home in San Diego after her retired professor gave her a sailboat and encouraged her to follow her dreams of sailing the high seas.

In return, he only asked her to document her travels.

Since 2005, she has navigated over 25,000 miles of open water...

...and has seen all sorts of incredible places.

She's been to Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and the Galapagos Islands.

When she's not working hard manning the ship...

She spends her days surfing...

Swimming...

Practicing yoga...

Watching incredible sunsets...

Exploring islands...

Learning from the locals...

...and making lots of new friends.

She sails around the world with her feline first mate...

...but Liz gets pretty lonely by herself.

Now, this adventurous sailor is looking for a free spirit...

...to join her sailing journey around the world.
