Dear Shipmates

Introduction

My name is Lylia, all my friend call me Lilou, 31 years old, I'm a Marine Biologist, Scuba Instructor and Expedition guide. I start getting into Sailing while living in Palau last year and just loved it. I trained for 2 months with a friend living on his sailboat for the past 37 years. Learn so much and can't wait to learn more!

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I am looking for an opportunity to cross the Pacific to the Galapagos, French Polynesia or any other remotes pacific islands!

I'm working on expeditions at sea as a guide and Marine Biologist and between contracts, I want to take that time to learn more about sailing and travelling in remotes places where I can end up diving. I grow up in France, left at 16 and really never come back, I have been moving around the world and work in differents parts ( Canada, Hawaii, Indonesia, Palau, Honduras ect... ). Talking about animals, nature, the ocean is pretty much what I do the best, and I'm always up to learn more. I'm a nerd, that geek out on science and read a lot, and the rest of the time, I'm exploring the world to find out new subjects to geek on ! I love teaching diving, and always try to expand my skills on that part too. I had the luxury to work in amazing places in the world and got really spoiled and want to continue this way! I have all my STCW certifications, medical for working at seas and all up to date, and have good experience to drive tenders and dinghys!

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

I want to learn and adventure! I would love to have my own boat one day and I want to gain experiences before that! The pacific has been my background for few years and want to keep it this way between job contracts!
