Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Dear Captains,
My name is Ben, I am a 27-year-old Belgian video maker who has left everything behind to embark on an open-end journey, during which I intend to fulfill my dreams.
The most exciting dream I have is to make a transatlantic crossing on a sailing boat!
But first, I am looking to get experience.
Unfortunately, I have no experience in sailing. That said, I am a quick learner, I am also highly motivated and ready to carry out all kinds of tasks necessary for the smooth running of the trip. Furthermore, I believe I have the human qualities required to make life enjoyable on the boat. I am known to my friends and family as a responsible and reliable person. You can be sure that I will commit to the tasks with the utmost seriousness.
A little about myself, my interests and my plans
