When Tal Oran had the opportunity to sail on a cargo ship around the Atlantic Ocean, upon a friend’s recommendation, he jumped at the chance.

Going without any phone or email correspondence, and coming up against stormy weather, rough seas and stunning views, this really is something to behold. Credit: TheTravelingClatt via Storyful
