Circumnagivating the Globe-and Other Little Goals-with Anne-Marie Keane

Anne-Marie Keane, a guest on the Outside Podcast, discussed her long-horizon journey and the “little goals” approach that carried her from California to a multi-year sailing expedition. Keane said she’s most looking forward to sailing to Indonesia, including live performances of gamelan orchestras and the chance to see Komodo dragons, noting the need to keep a distance. In the conversation, host Paddy outlined a theme of putting aside beloved pursuits to reach other milestones. Keane described growing up as a musical polymath—writing a composition at age 5—then choosing Dartmouth over music school for financial reasons. She later took up sailing, which nearly led to the Olympics.
