Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi
I'm an active Italian full of life, charming, positive, energetic, sociable and fun to be with as I have a good sense of humor and I'm full of interests.
I'm not touchy at all, very flexible and easy going but meanwhile very grounded, reliable, well organized and fast learner.
I'm tidy, hard worker, rational and efficient, cook quite well, very curious about other people and cultures, extremely keen to learn and a doer.
I love to travel/sail, I've traveled by land extensively Asia, Europe and America.
I've sailed across the Atlantic 4 times (both way); did ARC Baltic; sailed in Asia and in the Mediterranean Sea for several months, having accrued about 40k miles or more
Someone defined me as "good value to have on board" ...uhm... what a wording!!!! :-)

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

After getting a university degree in economics And living in many different cities in Italy (to study and work) in 1996 I moved to Japan for almost 4 years, then in Germany (Frankfurt AM)for 4 years; in 2005 in Singapore for 14 years then in Spain (Barcelona)...not necessarily on a planned way, but simply following what work and situations were bringing to me in that moment...never regretted anything and actually always made (and/or concentrate!) in the best of it...indeed I'm convinced that WE are the biggest influencer of our own life!
I'm a sporty person, like traveling, reading and anything creative, and . I love sailing and explore....and dreaming about the Pacific...

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

Despite all the miles I have accrued I think I've a lot to learn still, therefore, for the time being, I rather crew than thinking in getting my own boat...beside the fact that since I am a sociable person I'm happy to share rather than being alone :-)
I've crewed in several boat and it's very interesting to see how different captains have different approach: it's a never ending learning process which I enjoy very much...and everybody has lots of interesting stories to share...
Life can be very beautiful and interesting :-)
