| Hello everyone!! My name is Antoine, I am 29 yo. I am planning to start a travel around the world for at least one year, starting from france or spain in late october, without taking any airplanes. This implies crossing the atlantic and then the pacific. I really love sailing although it is only part of the project, I have a bit of coastal sailing experience, but I know practically nothing about offshore navigation, route calculations etc, but obviously I am very much willing to learn this!! The first dish of the menu is thus crossing the atlantic, which my sister Alice (22 yo) wants to be part of. Both of us are really kind, laid back, open minded, we can cook, play the guitar and sing, enjoy nice conversations about philosophy, art, music, travel experiences, well basically about anything, and of course we can, and want, help sailing!! Looking forward to sharing this amazing experience with you guys!! Cheers! | |
