To a potential fellow traveller abroad,

Hello!

My name is Brogan, South African born and raised! Like most South African stereotypes, I love people, work hard, have a good sense of humour, love the outdoors and enjoy great food (with the odd beer or glass of wine). We are a tough multicultural country which automatically makes us interesting and charismatic people that can handle a lot of challenges that life throws at us. I speak English and Afrikaans ('the broken Dutch') and trying to learn Spanish.

A little about myself, I am an outdoors person at heart, always up for an adventure, creative with clean 'OCD' tendencies, yet versatile, social, and a natural optimist with a constant curiosity for ‘what-lies-beyond-my-local-shores’. I am a hard worker, enthusiastic and always keen to learn.

I am interested in just short trips for now (holiday and leave permitting) with my partner who has his 40 nautical miles skippers license, together we have done plenty of deep-sea fishing as a recreational hobby back home! As such, I have an appreciation for nature, good cuisine, and quality hospitality (although this is never an imperative in life) and I am a socially and culturally conscious individual.

I hope you like what you see and hopefully, we will cross paths someday :)

My outdoor interests include (but are not limited to) trail running in order to be healthy in body and mind. I love the ocean too, through all of its offerings; fishing, spear fishing, swimming, surfing, supping, diving, snorkeling or simply floating!

My indoor interests include reading books as often as possible, cooking, the creation of a ceramic and pottery studio, which I started for like-minded creatives in my spare time. I love to paint when I can, I enjoy photography and travelling out of the City whenever I am able.

I am basically a super relaxed but super organised (is it possible to be both?) South African who is up for any activity or adventure!

My educational background:

Through hard work and determination, I have a tertiary education.

Reasons for Travelling and why you would enjoy me as a crew member...

Since working a desk job for several years, I have managed to pay off student debt by juggling multiple jobs. I now live and work in Melbourne, Australia on a skills visa. This has taught me how to hustle, work hard and see any task through but it has also spurred on my urge to travel the world more (since I have not been able until now).

As such, I am trying to squeeze in some travels, wherever possible, until I can travel for longer durations at a time - whether that includes contributing physically or financially on a boat or simply sailing for leisure and fun- I am open to either. I am eager to learn and observe from any experienced sailor in the process.

I am willing to work and express my gratitude enthusiastically where required. I learn fast and am never afraid of getting my hands dirty. I love to cook and get great pleasure out of cooking for others. I believe food is the best form of communication across cultures and language barriers (together with good music).
