It takes guts to sell everything you own and begin sailing around the world.

But that's exactly what Matt and Jessica Johnson did when they realized they were spending too much time in front of the TV, reports the Daily Mail.

Instead of taking up yoga or going on a run, the change they opted for was radical. They sold their house, learned to sail, and began an epic adventure at sea.

Their blog, MJSailing.com, documents every step of their journey. As the banner on the blog reads, the young couple is "exploring the world while it's still large."
