I love the sea and sailing, exploring remote places, meeting people learning about different cultures and their traditions.I have had boats in the past for quite a number of years, but the sailing was limited to weekend cruising and club races. My dream was always to sail longer distances to see what is beyond the horizon, and now is the time to do it.

I am reliable and have good "people skills", since I have always worked with people in the greater medical field in various positions.
In 2011 I sailed for 2 months the North Island of NZ and later in the year 3 months from the Med to the Canarian Islands, sailing short handed.In 2012 3 months Queensland and Whitsundays, then 3 months from Tahiti via Tonga to NZ. In 2013 from Auckland to Sydney and in the Med around Sardinia and in Croatia. 2014 took me again from Tahiti to Fiji and around the Fijian islands for 3 months.2015 back to Fiji again for 3 months cruising, 2016 2 months cruising in Vanuatu. 2017 and 2018 Wonderful Sail 2 Indonesia rally.
My other interests include swimming, snorkeling, cycling, hiking, pilates,yoga, skiing, good conversations and books, music, and good and healthy food.

I am looking to crew to learn more about sailing, to meet people and be part of a team, to share experiences, food and laughter, to satisfy my travel bug in the for me most appropriate way, that is sailing, living fully and yet simple, and treading lightly on this planet.
