Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi !
I have been travelling for over three years- I'm in a long journey and one of my objectives is to move around the world by hitchhiking, sailing boat or bike. I'm a big mountain enthusiast and love discovering mountains and climbing spot around the world 🌎.

I started my journey hitchhiking through France and Spain and subsequently crossed the atlantic ocean on an old 43 feet ketch. This amazing experience introduced me to the beautiful world of sailing ⛵. After spending two wonderful months in Guadeloupe, I continued my travel by boat ( monohull and catamaran )passing by some carribean islands until reaching Colombia.
After 1 year in South America where I climbed different mountains 🏔️ and visited different crags 🧗 . I sailed from Colombia to Panama by San Blas and then I crossed the Pacific ocean to New Zealand with different captains.

I'm currently in New Zealand and my goal is to reach Australia. I want to go there to, among others, save money and climb. Then, the idea is to sail to Indonesia to jump on a bike and go back to France visiting climbing spots and mountains on the way 🚲.
Now I can say it. I really love sailing and that's just the beginning. There are heaps of things to learn and live ! I really do love sailing and want to learn more. And maybe have my own boat later on ⛵...?
I'm pretty easygoing and fit. Always keen to give a hand and learn.

I would love to hear from you and are available to respond to any questions or doubts that come up.

Many thanks in advance for your time,
Enjoy and have a wonderful day - ☀️
