For years, the sea has been an important part of our lives. Not just as a journey, but as a space to slow down, observe, and feel better. Over time, that feeling became something more concrete: an idea of a different life, simpler, more essential, closer to nature.
This website was born to tell that transition, not a precise moment, but a journey.
We are Elena and Mimi
We live among the mountains of the Piedmontese Alps, in a place where we are used to open spaces, silence, and the rhythm of the seasons. We have always moved between skiing, trekking, cycling, and traveling.
The sea, however, has always been there.
And sailing, over the years, has become the thread that connects everything.
Not as an escape, but as a different way of being in the world.
Not just sailing
ME Free is not a sailing blog.
And it’s not even the story of a boat.
It’s a project that starts with the choice to change perspective:
- Living more slowly.
- Traveling by following the wind instead of schedules.
- Making space for what happens along the way.
Where do we start?
Today, we are still at the beginning.
The boat that will make all this possible is under construction.
Decisions, waiting, trips to the shipyard, technical choices, and personal ones: everything is taking shape right now.
And that’s exactly what we want to tell you about.
Why follow us?
In the coming months, you’ll find here:
- the shipyard and the birth of the boat
- visits, meetings, and the people behind the project
- preparations for departure
- the first days on board
- and, little by little, the journeys
Without haste, without unnecessary filters.
If you love the sea, authentic places, and journeys that unfold step by step, you’re probably in the right place.
Welcome aboard.
