Dear Shipmates

Introduction

UPDATE Sept 2024

Haloa pirates!! ⛵⛵⛵⛵

Im a traveller currently in Italy where I just ended my 2 years trip.
I was working on a catamaran between Bora Bora and Raiatea doing charters until beginning of September.
I just crossed the Pacific in April from Panama to Tahiti visiting Galapagos and Marquesas.

I was in the San Blas until March working on a charter sailing boat for 30 people doing the route Panama - Colombia visiting San Blas Islands.

I was in Honduras until October '23 where I finished the Padi Divemaster.

I crossed the Atlantic in January '23 from Portugal to Antigua with an Hallberg-Rassy 53'. We islands hopping until USA.
From Florida to Mexico I was captain in a Endeavour 32', no engine, no autopilot.

I started to love the ocean since I worked in Australia in a prawns trawler, in a lobster fishing boat and in a pearls farm for more than a year in total until end December '21.

About sailing I started in spring '22, I visit Barcelona, Mallorca, Minorca and Sardinia with two different sailingboat. I worked in Paros (Greece) for 5 months in a Turkish Gulet doing daily trip: deckhand, chef and bartender for groups up to 25pp. From there I sailed back to Italy delivering a Catamaran.

Im falling in love with sailing and I would love to learn always more and more.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I worked as electrician for 3 years in Italy and as waiter, bartender and chef for 4 years in Italy, Spain, Australia, Greece, Mexico and Honduras.

I understood that I want to spend as much time as I can in the sea, keep learning about boat and ocean life, discovering a new reality that hopefully will be for the life!

I love everything that have to deal with nature: trekking, snorkeling, photography with cameras, drones and gopro, fishing, discovery new places everyday, every kind of sport.

I've been in Iceland for 2weeks by myself living in a car doing 1000km and that was one of my best trip ever.

I lived 6 months in Spain, 6 in Greece, 5 in Mexico and 2 years in Australia where I traveled for 30000km free camping with a rooftop tend.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

share experiencevisit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamfinding myselfgain experiencelearn to saillive off the gridsustainable travel

Im willing to learn always more and more, Im easy-learn and I like to get my hands dirty, I also really like doing night watches and Im very good to cooking Italian and International food (all my past capitan can confirm, also in rough weather)!!
I have planty of dinghy experience.
For at least the next two years I want to spend as much time as I can on sailing boats and do some courses.
Im really friendly, happy to do things together and share moments.
