Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I have my skippers ticket here in New Zealand. Known as Skipper restricted limits. I'm a Marine biologist and dive master,

I am very Passionate about the Ocean and being on it as much as possible. For a number of years now I have made a living on the sea. From sea kayak guiding to Deck-handing. As a whale watch guide, as well as delivery work. I have also worked on a small 5 star dive cruise ship as a Cruise attendant, So I have experience with kitchen handing, as a waitress and housekeeping. I am happier on the deck but multi talented. I have worked as Volunteer coast guard also. I am very interested in Paid Positions. However I am and will do unpaid, Volunteer etc for the experience and fun of it. I am passionate and very keen to continue more time on the ocean. I am very passionate about marine conservation and have some experience with coral gardening and scientifc diving.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

clean & tidyeasy-goingfit & healthyfriendlyrespectfulskilledtrustworthyconfident swimmergood listenergood communicatorvisible tattooseager to learn & workpoliteLGBTIQA+ respectfulpositive outlookopen mindedenjoy cookingdon't mind cleaningbuy my own boat one daylive on little money

A few years ago I spent time working for a sailing company in the gulf of Thailand. I moved to Thailand in May 2014. The May before I sailed from New Zealand to Fiji. Then flew to Bali and sailed from Bali to Thailand up the west coast of Java and Sumartra
I spent the 3 summers before that in New Zealand working as sea crew for a whale watch company. I spent the season before that working in Queensland for a whale watch company. In between seasons I have crewed on a findacrew boats around Malaysia and Thailand. I very much enjoyed diving in Thailand and I obtained my advanced open water ticket while there. I am now a divemaster. I am very passionate about cruising and Exploring. I am Zealand-er. As well as being a marine biologist, I have my SRL Skippers ticket, RYA Power boat level 2, Boat Masters, STCW95, VHF and SSB radio ticket. I currently work as a fisheries observer and go-to sea for a month ir two at a time. When I'm not at sea my schedule is very flexible. I am very keen on sailing the world and open to new opportunities and places. In the past I have sailed in the NZ, Caribbean, indonesia, thailand, Bahamas, San Fran to Alaska and worked Sea kayak guiding in Canada.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

I am at my happiest on the ocean and I am driven to do it as long as possible. I love music and dancing. Fire dancing. I am a hard worker and love to have fun but I am not looking for a party boat or romantic advances!! I just want to sail, dive, kayak and see the world and do conservation work.
