PHANG NGA, Thailand -- "I get a lot of motivation from the life I chose," says Lena Bumiller-Klathale, a 34-year-old German who has traded her European past for a life on the ocean in Asia. "Living on a boat without running water could be seen as backward, but sailing to a beautiful bay and taking a shower under a waterfall can be satisfying. Other people go to an office and a gym every day. For me, carrying water is more meaningful."
