Tania Aebi je autorka, ktorej písanie čerpá z hlbokých a neobvyklých životných skúseností. Jejá známosť pramení z odvážnej sólovej plavby okolo sveta, ktorú podnikla v mladosti, čo sa stalo základom jej prvého memoáru. Aebi sa venuje nielen písaniu o svojich námorníckych dobrodružstvách, ale tiež sa zaoberá širšími témami života, rastu a skúmania sveta. Jej štýl je autentický a pútavý, často sa objavuje v článkoch pre jachtárske a cestovateľské časopisy, kde zdieľa svoje postrehy s komunitou.
