Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Currently travelling through the southern hemisphere, but as usual without future fix plans. Consequently, don't be afraid to contact me at any time for any plans, ideas, jobs etc.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

clean & tidyeasy-goingfit & healthyfriendlyorganisedrespectfultrustworthyconfident swimmerrarely/unlikely seasickgood listenergood communicatorno body piercingsno facial piercingstravel light (little luggage)eager to learn & workopen mindedsense of humoravailable on my ownenjoy cookingdon't mind cleaninggood with maintenancecan follow orderslive on little money

My life is a real long journey (I still haven't found a place to settle down): since I was young I dedicated a good part of my life traveling to know with my own eyes every corner of our beautiful planet.

I hold a degree as tour operator and
I try to make a short list of my skills:
I started to work for 7 years recycling clothes with my business family; I had my own business in a market for 3 years; several types of factories like glassware, paper, adhesive tape, biscuits, packaging...; 12 years in isolated mountain huts (seasonal= summer-winter) like waiter, receptionist, housekeeping; same duties in other hotels/restaurants;
I had also some other experience like cleaner, fruit picking, help carpenter, rental Campers, postman, camping manager....

I love hiking, reading, cooking, biking, packrafting and share experience of life with the others.
I love nature, animals (expecially dogs, bears and whales) and live as much as possible in the wilderness.
I believe in a better life far away from the consumerism and materialism.
Time is more important than money.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

have a holidayshare experienceshare charter costsvisit remote placesseek adventuregain experiencelearn to sailsustainable traveltravel

After many years spent hiking acrossing mountain ranges around the world, I realized that I was missing one of the most important part of nature of this planet; that one from the sea!
Furthermore I decided to start to increase my travel experiences and not only.
I am very flexible and ready to help, to do and, off course, to learn everything we need on a boat.
I have no preference, no limit of time. Obviously willing to share some expenses on board.

My sailing experience is limited to a sailing school attempted in Puerto Madryn Argentina and 3 weeks working on a charter sailboat in San Blas Panama and just a bit more. I am looking forward to improve my sailing skills.
