I am a long distance hiker, backpacker and vanlifer and motorcycle-camper. I am travelling with about 25lbs/12kg (60L) of gear.

I've renovated some homes and always worked on my own vehicles. I've done periodic maintenance and diagnosed and repaired some sailboat problems such as Perkins 4.236, hydraulic steering, marine toilet. I am the type of person to read the shop manuals and do it myself. I'm gentle on equipment.

I am an independent person but I work well in a team environment. I can take orders and I do not participate in interpersonal drama. Polite, professional and prepared to prevail over any potential problem. My previous work is mostly in the military and police environment from which I am now retired. As such I am experienced in fast-paced, high-consequence environment, but I prefer a laid-back and safety-conscious vibe now.

I speak enough Spanish to survive and I am keen to improve so anyone who speaks Spanish or French (or wishes to practice English) would be a great match.

My marine experience is one trip from Puerto Rico to Florida via the Dominican Republic and Bahamas which was a mix of motor and sail including some sailboat problems, a few lessons on a Sunfish, leisure swimming, fresh water fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking and many week-long canoe trips (sailed canoe a little too), and sailing mostly as a passenger in New Zealand.

I usually prepare basic meal. I can cook if there's a recipe. Given the choice in the galley, I always prefer to wash the dishes!

I enjoy a couple drinks socially (as in, two) but I don't enjoy any more. Everything in moderation - I don't do debauchery. In an environment where some level of danger is always present I maintain the ability to respond appropriately at all times.
