My name is Kalle Manzano, and I’ve been living on a sailing catamaran called “Wishing Whale.” Living aboard has been a unique experience that has taught me many valuable lessons. I’m a creative person who enjoys taking on new projects.  Before Kids Aboard I worked on documenting my travels on a YouTube channel. While there are many advantages to the boating lifestyle, such as the opportunity to learn and gain new experiences, there are also some challenges. One of the biggest challenges my sisters and I faced growing up on a boat was a lack of friends to play with. However, one day, while hoisting the yellow immigration flag, I had a brilliant idea. I decided to design a unique banner that would signal to other boaters that there were kids onboard. And that’s how Kids-Aboard was born!
