Pippa Hudson speaks to Brent Grimbeek and Ana Hill.

Listen to the interview in the audio below.

Many of us have dreamed of sailing the world, and one couple made this dream a reality.

Brent Grimbeek and Ana Hill have been sailing the world for more than a decade on their Catamaran named Impi.

Their journey started in November 2011, and they will soon be setting off on the next leg of their adventure.

Brent says he grew up in a yachting family, so he knew this was the path for him.

For Ana, she says meeting him was like a fairy tale and she knew she wanted them to do this together.

“One of the first things I asked him was what he wanted to do with his life. He said he wanted to sail around the world and I said, well I have a boat."
- Ana Hill

On top of just seeing the world, they are also involved in animal welfare and have raised money to help an abandoned island dog.
