Dear Shipmates

Introduction

HI,
I am 37 though I don't often act like it. I enjoy many extreme sports and wild adventures. I have travelled some parts of the world (mostly Europe) and would love to explore more from the sea. I speak English, French and a little German, hopefully some Spanish too soon. I need to be in Spain in mid 2025 for the world hang-gliding championship until then I'll go with the flow. I recently spent 2 months with a family sailing the Pacific (best trip ever) so I'm looking to replicate that in the Med or anywhere else really.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I am keen to travel and experience new places and people. I love all water sports and if I can bring a windsurfer or kite surfer that would be awesome. I also love to teach and learn. I was a primary school teacher in NZ and now tutor students in sports and arts and crafts, mostly woodwork. I am very practically minded and inventive having grown up on a remote farm. I also volunteer as a medic with St John and as a firefighter in the fire service.
My ideal situation would be one where I can teach and help while exploring new horizons and new skills.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

I would love to do something different for a while... maybe longer. I am open to the possibility of this being my introduction into buying myself a boat and travelling for who knows how long
