Meet John Tilley and Kristina Costalos who run an exciting YouTube channel called Kristina’s Travels.
When the Covid pandemic hit John & Kristina took the opportunity to live out their sailing dream. With limited sailing experience they packed up their life in Melbourne, purchased a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 50DS, Tucana, and sailed her from Melbourne up the east coast of Australia as far north as Lizard Island.
The whole trip was documented on their YouTube channel which gained so much popularity it is currently sitting at over 26 million views!
After completing their dream trip they decided to dream bigger! Tucana was sold by 38 South Yacht Sales and then John & Kristina took their travels global. Their sailing adventures have taken them everywhere from the Greek Islands to the Bahamas, and earlier in 2023 John and Kristina waved goodbye from the cockpit of the all new Jeanneau Yachts 55 as they departed downtown Barcelona in Spain.
Over the course of their six-week adventure on the Jeanneau Yachts 55, John and Kristina will sail through Corsica, Sardinia, Nice, with several stops along the French coast before returning to Barcelona, documenting the whole trip on their YouTube channel.
