About the community
I'm Alison Major — Gold Looper, author of Remote Work Afloat, and TEDx speaker. I completed the Great Loop with my husband and two kids aboard SV Fika, and I built this community because I kept getting the same questions from people planning the Loop. The answers are better in a community than in a one-way blog post.
AGLCA is the official home for Loopers — I'm an ambassador for a reason. This is the more personal layer: smaller conversations, practical courses, and a place to figure out how to tell your story.
