This Is Why I Founded Bluezone Expedition

I founded Neptunia Bluezone Expedition because something in me has been quietly weaving this together for years. I first came to Lamu in 1991 as a student at Long Island University.

During my internship at Lamu Museum, working at Lamu Fort, I began to understand — not intellectually, but deeply — how culture, ecology and community are inseparable. Lamu never really left me.

For more than three decades, I have worked with communication, sustainability and change processes, often in complex environments where trust and long-term thinking truly matter. At the same time, I built Neptunia in Sweden — a maritime coaching practice centered on safety, seamanship and confidence at sea. The water has always been my second classroom. For many years, these were two parallel tracks:

Systems change on land, and life on the water.

Bluezone Expedition is where they finally meet. I believe healthy coastal communities, responsible boating culture and long-term sustainability belong in the same conversation. The way we travel across water shapes the places we anchor in.

This is not a new chapter.
It is a homecoming — to the thread that has connected my work, my movement between countries and coastlines, and my lifelong relationship with the sea.

That is why I founded Bluezone Expedition.
