Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi to everyone! I'm Raffaele, but you can call me with many different nicknames :). I study physics at the University of studies of Turin, i'm still in the Bachelor's degree but I'm planning to finish it the 2025. I born and raised in Turin and I lived one year in Valencia (Spain), during the Erasmus program.
I really love sailing, my father own a 10m sailboat with other friends in Italy and I used to go with him since I was a child, I also practice sailing with little racing boats like Lasers or Rs-500 during the summer. I have also some experience with night sailing and I usually take part of some boat transfers.
I would like to take part at regattas and other boat transfers. In particular one of my dreams, that it's in my mind since a lot, is to take part of the Atlantic Race Cruise, and so i could lives this enormous experience. I would like to sail also the others oceans as well.

I'm a bike mechanics in Turin and i really like to fix things. I have an intuitive mind so i could help as well with repairing and the maintenance of the boat.

Another thing that I like is cooking, my mother teach me a lot of things and we love to cook together, for Christmas and birthday parties. I cook a lot for myself and my friends, we love to organize dinners together. I have a lot of books of cooking where I find the inspirations. For my point of view, if you don't have nice meals on board you cannot enjoy the experience to the fullest. I also like to take picture, I own some cameras, analogical and digital ones, that I could bring with me for a reportage.

I'm a friendly and sunny person who is quick to make friends with new people. Sometimes I need also spaces for my thoughts.
In everything that I do, I'm always looking for take care of the planet, I try, as possible, to avoid plastic products and I promote a reasonably ethical lifestyle.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I'm full of interest and passions. i love music and i'm linstening to a lot of different types, from the classic to the techno, from the italian singers to the funk and jazz. I also play some instrument like synthetizers and djing with vinyls. I also like to take picture, I own some cameras, analogical and digital ones, that I could bring with me for a reportage, I'm sure that i will take a thousand of picture :).
I'm into sports, i practice cycling, climbing, skiing and sailing.
I have many more interests, I'm not gonna tell you everything, so you can discover me also during apoetical experience.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

I would like to improve my sailing skills and also have the oportunity to live experiences that i now could change me and testing myself.
The sea is the most sublime element of the nature and y want to live with it in all his beauty.
