Hi sailors! Well, I am half French, half Colombian (born in Colombia, raised in France), as my father was reporter and adventurer I got a passion for travel since I was a kid. So far I have traveled in about 50 countries since more than 20 years, I have been working in hospitality since 15 years (waiter, bartender) and I like to cook French, Italian, South American and Asian cuisine, vegetarian if needed) and since 2008 in the diving industry (divemaster then dive instructor since 2010) in Asia, Australia, Africa, and Caribbean Sea! Deep, Nitrox specialties, maintenance and repair skills for equipment, compressor handling, and maintenance.
I worked also in farms, grape-picking for great wines in France! I am like the Swiss multi-function knife and multi-lingual, I speak fluently French, English, Spanish and Italian (a bit of German); I am a sporty non-smoker with always a can-do attitude, have some experience in sailing and I am eager to learn always more.
My STCW is up to date ; I got the deckhand certificate CMP (French certificate), and driving licenses (car, motorbike, boat PBL2). I love sport and action, I am organized and eager to learn always more and more. I love to cook delicious French, Italian, Mediterranean, Asian, and South American cuisine.
Level-2-food-safety-and-hygiene-for-catering in hand!
During the summer of 2022, I have been working on a 23m yacht as a stew/cook/deckhand (based in the South of France from June till November).
In February 2023 I started to work as 1st mate, cook/stew, and dive instructor in a Fountain Pajot 52 catamaran doing sailing charter for up to 10 guests around Antigua island (Caribbean sea) at the end of April I got sent to French Polynesia by my employer to work on Fountain Pajot 59'. Since 2 month I am working as 1st mate free lance on catamaran in Bora Bora. I would like to find a sailing boat in FP to experience some great adventures and offer all my skills (cooking/diving/ sailing and more!)
