I'm Erika, I'm 59 years old, and I live in Rio de Janeiro. I've always been passionate about the sea, landscapes, travel, places, and other cultures. Long years of working in set design, in dark recording studios, have always taken me to the sea in my free time. Several diving courses, beaches, a bit of surfing, stand-up, and even trying kitesurfing. More recently, a week of chartering in the Caribbean ended up taking me to a monohull and lasted 2 months. The captain and I sailed (2500NM) from La Paz (Baja California) to Panama City. An incredible journey, going through strong winds, storms (without getting seasick). Swimming with sea lions and manta rays, diving in shipwrecks, accompanied by dolphins, whales, and wonderful landscapes. I returned to Brazil and got a basic certification (Master Helmsman - 20NM) with the intention of returning to the sea and learning a little about sailing. 2022 from Les Sables D'Olone to Split (2500 NM)
2022/2023. Sailing for 6 months between Türkye, Italy and Greece. (2800NM)
2023 USA/Antigua (1400 NM) 2024 Kos/Athens
I still don't have control over the sails, but I can support maneuvers, take turns and instruments, keep the boat organized and in good condition, organize and welcome people.
I'm also interested in learning languages. I speak Brazilian Portuguese (native). I'm looking to be fluent in English and when possible, I'm learning Spanish and Italian (I understand a lot, but I don't speak it)

I don't share expenses since traveling from Brazil is already very expensive.
I'm interested in environmental protection projects, even if they involve long periods, and also in groups related to water sports. Naturally, I consider it important to have a good conversation beforehand so that we can adjust expectations. I am mainly looking for paid positions, receiving around 700 dollars per week that can be negotiated.
