Liveaboard journalist Erling Matz in St Malo

Ever dreamed of breaking free from the 9-5 grind and embracing a life of adventure? Join Erling Matz, a Swedish author, as he shares his incredible journey of living and working on a 55-foot boat for the past year. From the bustling streets of London to the picturesque harbor of St Malo, Erling proves that you can enjoy life, earn a living, and cherish precious moments with your family, all while pursuing your passion.

As a former head of the Information Department at the renowned Vasa Museum in Stockholm, Erling made the bold decision to leave his job in 1985 and embark on a life of freedom and creativity. With 55 books to his name, covering topics from sailing to culture, Erling's works have earned a place in the prestigious British Library, a testament to his lasting legacy.

Discover the joys and challenges of this unconventional lifestyle, and be inspired to create your own path to happiness and fulfilment. Remarkably, this entire video was shot, edited, and uploaded using only an iPhone 4S, all within an hour of returning from the yacht club bar!

I caught up by chance with Erling during a delivery trip back to the UK on another boat. Erling Matz was the Communication Officer at the Vasa Museum in Stockholm. One of his claims to fame is that he used to jam with Benny from Abba. He spends time with his family and on his own onboard his Swede 55 sailing yacht.
