#MeetThePod – I'm Kirara, from Japan! Growing up in the mountains I always dreamed of the ocean so I went to Tokyo for marine studies. I loved my program and being near the water so got into marine sports and crewing as well. My dream is to live in a coastal town with my dog!🐶

#MeetThePod – Marina, from the US! She fell in love with the ocean at an early age thanks to scuba diving and is excited to finally be exploring that passion. Though she’s from a city far from any coast, with a name like Marina it seems like destiny to end up in the marine world!
