Maidentrip challenges our social norms about what is old enough to set off on a solo sailing voyage around the world. What struck me most about Laura Dekker is her confidence from a young age. I wonder what Laura's life will look like in her adulthood...will she struggle or will she be free of the trappings of material possessions and money because she eschewed that in her formative years? As we seniorize, we pose the what ifs to ourselves, such as, what if? If only I'd taken that solo sailing trip at age 14, for example. Here is a person who commanded her life to her goal. Maidentrip is entertaining and thought-provoking. She will inspire people to think big.
