Fulano de Tal is a Brazilian economist with a MBA from INSEAD and a masters degree in Organizational Psychology from the University of London. He is forty-nine-years-old, has two daughters, a grandson and a wonderful wife, who is not sailing with him, but is essencial for this project.

Maybe because of a stronger-than-usual mid-age crisis, he decided to put in practice a long-lasting desire. He bought a sailing vessel in Florida, untied the docking lines and is now sailing alone around the world.
