About me

Location Evanston, IL, United States
Introduction The Koziuras hail from Evanston, IL. In December 2010 they embarked on a yearlong adventure that will take them sailing the Caribbean and all the way to the Med and back. SEBASTIAN has sailed all his life in his native Argentina: from the coast of Patagonia all the way to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. He is now ready to conquer other parts of the world. Taking a year off to live on a sailboat has been his life's dream. KARLA has been a "reluctant sailor" with only one or two daysails under her belt before meeting Sebastian. She enjoys the cruising lifestyle, being able to visit various countries through the "back door" so-to-speak. Now Karla is ready to be the first mate aboard "Begonia," a Foutaine Pajot Athena 38. SOFIA is a spunky second-grader who loves to dance and is very creative when it comes to Scotch tape! She will miss her friends this year but is excited to meet new people and see new places. BENJAMIN has started Kindergarten on the Begonia Homeschool- or as the kids say, "Boatschool." Benjie is always eager to learn and to help -- whether sailing or cooking. He can also row a dinghy like the best of them!
