Noah's mother died when he was fourteen in a freak boating accident. Through the years, the last words she spoke have stuck with him, engrained in his mind.

Now, five years later, he has set off on his sailboat, the pull of adventure and travel to strong to resist any longer.  The ocean lays wide open in front of him, and he's got no clear location in mind, no timeframe to restrict him.  Along the way he meets a girl with a huge desire to travel, and together they set out on an adventure that's not only going to change them, but also their entire viewpoint on life itself.

Join Noah on this eye-opening journey as he tries to figure out just where he's going -and where he wants to be- in Find Your Oasis.
