Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Hello anyone who is reading this, I am looking for a mate to travel the world with in a watery wanderlust kind of way connecting the dots as we go with a loose, weather driven schedule and itinerary. I love living on my boat and have been travelling non stop for 10 years now and wondering if there is a mate here to enjoy this awesome lifestyle with. I stay in shape with yoga and regular workouts on the nearest beach most days and enjoy good food of course. Left leaning hippie type with minimal news input anymore preferring the life around me. Let's start a conversation to see if a match and take it from there. I will be in Fij until the end of October and continue around the world in a minimalist but adventurous fashion. I like to run a safe, organized, clean boat and seek a mate who appreciates this as well. Seasick free please. Come visit beautiful Fiji and check us out (my boat and I) to see if a fit. Here I will invite all questions, I'm sure you have some, you will get honest, truthful answers as there is no time for anything else. Cheers it's a beautiful world.
