Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hello! I’m Sam.

Just a guy hitchhiking around the world with a deep passion for woodworking and climbing. After cycling across Europe for four months, I’m now continuing my journey, hitchhiking from France.

As part of this journey, I’m keen to learn sailing, particularly around Southeast Asia, as I’m avoiding flights on this epic adventure. Looking forward to new challenges and experiences on the open seas!

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I'm an easy-going and respectful guy who's both organized and clean. I work hard, learn quickly, and have a curious mind that's always eager to explore new ideas. I thrive on experiencing new things and love sharing my knowledge, whether it’s teaching in schools or simply chatting with new people.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

seek adventurefulfill a dreamface challengesgain experiencesustainable travel

I’m deeply committed to exploring the world while minimizing my environmental impact. For me, adventure and ecological responsibility go hand in hand. That's why I've chosen to travel the globe without taking a plane, relying solely on eco-friendly modes of transport.

Traveling isn’t just about seeing new places; it’s about challenging myself, pushing boundaries, and embracing the journey in its purest form. My next big goal is to reach Australia, but not by air. To get there, I plan to learn how to sail and master the basics before arriving in Bali, where I'll search for a boat to continue this epic journey.

By traveling this way, I aim to connect more deeply with the people I meet and the environments I cross, proving that exploration can be both sustainable and profoundly enriching.
