How we've been waiting to share these wonderful news with you all, and finally it's official! The all American brand, Tommy Hilfiger, has appointed Alex and me to be their global brand ambassadors, for Hilfiger's new fragrance that have just been launched worldwide. The fragrance is called Freedom, and while searching for someone who could embody the particular message and word, Freedom, they've chosen us. This is something that we are tremendously proud and thankful for and we still have a little hard to believe it's actually true!
Here's what it's saying in the press release that is sent out to the industry today:
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The Tommy Hilfiger Group, which is wholly owned by PVH Corp. is proud to announce the launch of Freedom Tommy Hilfiger, a new fragrance for men. To promote the fragrance, Tommy Hilfiger has joined with Alex Psaroudakis and Taru Tuomi, experienced global sailors and couple, as they embark on “The Freedom Tour,” a six month ocean journey around the world.
“I have always been inspired by the nautical life, and I have great admiration for those who embrace it. It’s rare to have the courage to, literally and figuratively, set sail and live your dream,” said Tommy Hilfiger.
In tandem with the launch of the new Tommy Hilfiger men’s fragrance, “The Freedom Tour” will depart from Tommy Hilfiger’s favorite Caribbean island, Mustique. The couple will then sail to Colombia, the San Blas Islands, Panama and eventually through the South Pacific Ocean. They will chronicle their journey on the Tommy Hilfiger Facebook page, so fans can experience their adventures and travels.
Alex and Taru met three years ago in Barcelona, Spain. After knowing each other for only a few weeks, they decided to take the ultimate adventure: they sold their personal belongings, emptied their savings accounts and set out to sail around the world. “We wanted to free ourselves from the stress and obligations of our day-to-day life,” says Alex. “We decided to sail the world at our own pace, traveling from one inspiring place to another.”
In two years, the couple has travelled more than 12,000 nautical miles, visiting thirteen different countries on three continents.... Join Alex and Taru on their upcoming journey and follow the inspiring Tommy Hilfiger “Freedom Tour” on Facebook: www.facebook.com/tommyhilfiger.

Thank you everyone! Good sail idea anonymous!

Excellent! How many people sail around the world AND get paid to do it? Good job!
Well, unfortunately, you two now embody everything many of us cruisers set out to distance ourselves from...commercialism.
But if that is what you have to do to pay the bills...then so be it. However, please don't candy coat the truth about the cruising lifestyle. As you surely know it isn't all sandy beaches and boat drinks. More details of Alex working on the boat 90% of the time is probably worth more coverage. Put him in a Hilfiger bikini if necessary ;-)
Wow, that is wonderful news!! So happy for you both :)
xo e
Oh my god!!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you're both breaking your no drinking rule and having some bubbly tonight.
LOL @ anonymous. Show me 1 cruiser who'd say no to such a deal ;) Congratulations Alex and Taru, well done.
Wow, I knew this was going to be big news. Congratulations to you both!
Congratulations!!! Awesome!!
Congrats Alex! and Taru,
So does "Freedom" have some hint of human sweat, hot sanding discs, fibreglass dust and curing resin ;) ? The imaginary fragrance representing an idealized dream of freedom can be be effectively marketed by your voyage - but the actual smells of reality required to achieve it is simply understood.
Enjoy the good endorsement karma - it seems well earned.
Alpha...Alpha StArcher...is that you?
Amazing! Congratulations!
I loved the description of what kind of personality Freedom is designed for. Can't wait to smell the perfume!
Better pick up the pace if you are going to make it around in 6 MONTHS! Is Tommy springing for a Volvo 70! Congratulations.
Again Taru, I surrender to your marketing skills and I congratulate you for it! You sell what the world wants to see, not the whole truth because the world doesn’t want to see the ugly side as we have to deal with it every day, but the pretty, adventurous, loving and sexy side of it! Congrats! And I truly mean that…Ro
Fantastic news. Just what was missing. You got a good thing going here. What's next? Full spread in GQ or SI? Fascinating couple/story indeed.
I cannot imagine two better people to represent this concept. I am so happy for you two and continue to be amazed at how well you do the adventure life with such style and panache.
Fantastic ! Congratulations! I can't think of anyone more suited for this and I'm so happy for you. Only one word of caution...don't let this push you into some kind of schedule now. Good Karma to you both.

Hmmm... little bit jealous now to be honest. That you can pull these huge things off all the while living the life we all dream of..... unfair world we live in.
Fabulous!! This suits you so well. Love the red TH bikini too ;)
Congratulations! What a perfect fit for the product launch. It brings attention to their new line and to your quest to sail the seas. And to think we "knew" you and Alex before this international acclaimation. Keep up the great updates on this blog.
Complimentill guys, I believe TH make the right choice!
Hey felicitaciones!!! So excited for you both! You make an amazing couple and truly do embody freedom!
