Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi there! we are Vera (29) and Sergio (36) slow travelers from Switzerland on the road for over a year now. Sailing has always been a big dream of ours. We quit our jobs to travel the world and have since visited Europe, Central and South America.
Currently, we are in Southeast Asia always looking for a alternative way to travel. We had our first sailing experience last spring in the Mediterranean Sea with a great captain and teacher. Although we're beginners we bring other useful talents with us and we are highly motivated and fast learners, experienced travelers who are comfortable with adapting to new environments and situations.

As crew members and passionate cooks, we will prepare your fresh fish, bake bread in a pot, or make you a delicious pasta. We would love to get an opportunity and experience the wild sea under the stars while helping with night shifts. We never mind cleaning or getting our hands dirty for maintenance on board.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

Before embarking on this journey Vera was manager of a food delivery business and Sergio a professional dancer and nursery carer.
We left everything behind seeking for adventures and inspirations. On a mission to explore new cultures, meet lovely people, exchange experiences and enjoy the beauty of nature.
We are open-minded and together we are well-balanced, very simple, just a great team! We don’t have time for stress or tensions.

We love swimming, snorkeling and surfing - there’s nothing quite like being on the water and feeling like we belong to the ocean. But what we love even more is cooking and eating together! We both have experience in gastronomy and know how to move in tight spaces. We’re also great at improvising! We’ve spent nights on boats before and feel comfortable on the water.

We're excited about the prospect of joining a sailboat crew because it will allow us to continue exploring the world while also learning new skills. We're hard workers who are always up for a challenge.
