| Hi everyone! I can review my life in one word, SAIL. I have been sailing and competing since I was 7 years old, and I feel I had spent the most part of my life inside a boat, I’m passionate about it. I started going to competitions, training almost every weekend and I spent three years(2012-15), being part of the 470 Spanish pre-Olympic team, training and competing in the highest level for going to the Olympics. I decided to stop competing and complete my degree for being a preschool teacher and the last two yearsI had been working as a teacher in a freedom education school. Furthermore, I been competing in some sailing cruise, and working as a Sailing Coach. Now I want to work in the sea, I’m ready to learn a lot and hopefully having the chance of doing it while sailing round the world. Being connected with the nature, taking care of our environment and working hard as a team work. | |
