Nationality: | United Kingdom |
Currently based in: | Swansea , Portugal |
Looking for: | Worldwide opportunities |
Experience: | 500 ocean miles / 2000 coastal miles |
My drive in life is primarily the ocean. As a marine biologist, Dayskipper, surfer, and sailing/windsurfing instructor, I have built my life around the sea. I am looking to build miles and gain experience so I can get my yacht masters and pursue a career on research boats. Since I was 12 I have been lucky enough to sail in many places over the world. The majority of my experience was gained in the Greek islands whilst working as a sail trainer. I also have experience sailing in Thailand, Spain, Italy, and various places in the UK. I am available for short-term and long-term trips to any location. I look forward to meeting you. | |
