Introduction

Ello!

It has been my dream to learn sailing and the art of living on the water. I have taken a basic start crewing & helming course in Darwin, Australia and I have logged about a month living on a sailboat and cruising around the islands of Thailand and Malaysia and a month in the Carribean. I would love more experience and am very interested in learning more about how to navigate and connect with the tides/winds/currents/seasons, etc.

I am formally well educated and now am interested in the school of life and all it can teach me - particularly being as close to nature as possible, studying the movement inside and outside of oneself, compassion, world culture, language and relationships.
Play is important to me - it is the ultimate creative tool for learning and exploration and so... let's play, and learn, and grow with the surroundings of this beautiful planet.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I have been traveling full time after having my own psychotherapy/energywork practice pre-covid. I was moved by spirit to go on this world journey and it's been my greatest joy and biggest teacher, and so, I continue.
I would love to learn how to sail and everything that comes with it, including repairs and navigation. I would also love to explore more underwater environments. I have my advanced open water diving certification with over 50 dives logged around the world.
