Wanderlust Atlas

Build a life with more freedom in it.

I'm Chanty. I build businesses, use AI to buy back my time, and run a sailing community from my boat in Mexico. Wanderlust Atlas is where I share the tools, systems and communities I'm building to help other people create more freedom too.

"The training exceeded my expectations. I now feel comfortable using ChatGPT on my own, and when I do not know how to do something, I know how to ask ChatGPT for help."

My story, the short version.

I wanted a different life. So I built one.

Six years ago, I left Canada with my dog Chinook and $300. No grand plan, just a decision to build a different kind of life.

Today, I run businesses from a 30-foot sailboat in Mexico. Along the way, I discovered how AI could help me work smarter, build more independently, and create opportunities I hadn't imagined.

Wanderlust Atlas is where I share what I've learned, what actually works, and what it takes to build more freedom into your own life.

From the people who've sailed with me

These were left for me publicly when I entered a contest to win a sailboat. I didn't win the boat. I got something better.

Slide 1 of 5

"I know Chantal is the real deal! Met her and Chinook in Chiapas, Mexico while they were boat sitting. The social coordinator and constant offerer of assistance in the marina, Chantal was a friend to all and that perfect advocate of the sailing community!"

Kevin Oakes | World Circumnavigator

"I've sailed a couple thousand miles with Chantal. She's done more miles than me now and is ready to be her own captain!"

Brendan MacB - Canada to Bahamas

"She was kind enough to bring me on many sailing adventures out on Lake Ontario. This gal uses her sailboat to create space and foster community. She really cares about surrounding herself with people who have a mutual stoke and love for exploration and travel."

Syd & Adam, sailed the 1000 Islands with Chanty

"Met her sailing and yoga-ing in La Paz, Mexico and she's a true community builder and has great positive energy."

Kristen Gill, met Chanty in La Paz, Mexico

"She WILL finish any project that she starts. I believe that she has the drive, skills and determination needed."
