Sailing alone in a boat around the world isn’t something that a typical 14-year old teenage girl would dream about. But for Laura Dekker, who was born on a boat and spent the first five years of her life living on one, it makes perfect sense to want to become the youngest person ever to do it. After the initial hustle with the Dutch child protection services, she sets out to achieve that goal. Unlike some other adventures, she doesn’t have a second boat filled with cameras or any other support during her battle with the ocean storms, currents, and the wind. She is truly alone.

And now, let’s see the top three best travel documentaries streaming on Netflix.
