Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hello, I’m Stan, a 26-year-old young traveller, deeply passionate about pedagogy, physics, philosophy, writing, photography, the sea, and the art of movement. I have dwelled in various communities, both indigenous and cosmopolitan, in deserts, jungles, islands, and forests—places where love and respect for flora and fauna are ever-present... Now, I yearn to sail; amidst the sea, I always find inspiration for my writing. I adore the written word, and I hope to one day complete my meditations.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I’m not one for cities; I love the natural world. I’ve lived on an island several times, a place where I found such happiness, swimming from isle to isle, meeting fishermen and sailors along the way. Or taking that small boat out each day, finding myself reading and writing in solitude, waiting for the sun to set, rowing back to the island endlessly, joyfully. I love the sea; it inspires, calms, and drives me. It’s all I want in life. I hope to return to that Caribbean island in Colombia after my time in Europe, meet new sailors, and perhaps embark on a new adventure.

This November, I’ll be staying at a Hare Krishna sanctuary just outside of London (and visiting my partner), which I’m really looking forward to. Afterwards, I’ll head to the Netherlands to visit some friends and do some volunteer work. I’d love to find a boat bound for the Caribbean or the Americas, as I’m planning to return to Colombia by plane, but the idea of sailing back sounds utterly fascinating.
