I am an active sailor living in Helsinki/Finland, sailing on my 33ft Edel Catamaran. I appreciate respecting the nature, prefer anchoring in natural spots rather than visiting marinas. My boat is more or less self-sufficient in energy (electric propulsion / solar energy).

I've been sailing since 1980. First, on Swiss lakes and since 1989, on the Baltic Sea on catamarans or trimarans, more rarely on monohulls. A lot of racing and cruising. One North-Atlantic crossing (west to east) on a 40 foot catamaran. International Certificate for Operators of Pleasure Craft, CEVNI, sailed over 25.000 nautical miles.

I am planning a trip around Europe in the near future, aiming exploring Europes west-coast in detail and spending the winter in the Med before returning north. Approximately 1.5 years duration. And before that trip, I sail on the Baltic Sea, Finland, Baltic countries, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Germany.

When living on the boat, my office is with me and normally I do not have to work a lot.

In addition to sailing and the sea, important things in my life are radical honesty, responsibility, safe communication, deepness, self-development, music, piano playing, lindy-hop and blues dance, touch, presence in the moment, curiosity and playfulness, independent choices.

I speak German, Finnish, English and French and learn new languages rather easily, Spanish at the moment.

If you love the sea, sailing and exploring new places, that's already a good starting point. Sailling experience would be great, but not required (assuming you are interested in learning). In addition, if you like music, singing, playing and instrument or even dancing, then we might have really a lot in common.
