Hi everyone!

We’re a family of four living a life less ordinary – swapping the “9 to 5” for sunrises at sea, starry skies, and salty hair. After travelling around Australia in our caravan, creating unforgettable memories with our two adventurous boys, we’ve now taken the leap to live aboard our sailboat full-time. ⛵️

Now, we’re dreaming bigger.

Our next chapter? Sailing to Indonesia – exploring new cultures, island-hopping through turquoise waters, and giving our boys an education filled with real-world learning, adventure, and connection.

But before we can cast off the dock lines and head north, we need your help.

We’re working hard to prepare our old boat for this next journey, but making her seaworthy and safe for international travel comes with significant costs – from essential safety equipment to navigation upgrades and boat repairs. Every dollar raised will go directly into making our floating home ocean-ready.

Why We’re Doing This:

We believe life is meant to be lived now, not someday.

We don’t want to wait until retirement to explore, grow, and experience the world.

We want our children to see that following your dreams is possible – even if it looks a little different.

How You Can Help:

We’re asking our friends, family, and community to chip in whatever you can – even a small donation makes a huge difference. Whether it’s the cost of a coffee or a tank of fuel, your support gets us one step closer to the open sea.

We hope that by sharing our story, we can inspire others to think outside the box and chase what truly matters to them. And one day, we’d love to pay it forward – helping others follow their dreams too.

Thank you for being part of our journey.

We can't wait to share the next adventure with you!

With gratitude,

The Luscombe Family. Emma, Steve, Noah and Patrick– the crew of 'Oema'
