Someone who chose a horizon over a mortgage.
means A person who travels or works at sea, especially as a sailor by trade or vocation.
from Straightforward Old English stock: 'sea' plus 'farer,' from faran, meaning to go, journey, or travel — the same root that gives us 'fare' (as in a journey's cost) and 'thoroughfare.' A farer was simply a goer, so a seafarer is literally 'one who goes upon the sea,' a compound as old and plain as the coastline itself.
