| Hi! I´m Camila, from Buenos Aires- Argentina. I´m an architect and urban researcher, that loves to travel and discover new places and habitable realities, but right now I´m working in a naval company based in France, as a Director of a liveaboard motorsailer project. I used to sailing with family since I was a child and spend almost two months living aboard of a Bavarian 44 in the Mediterranean and living in a Bali 41 in the Carribbean for more than a month. I have experience helping onboard and understanding the importance of been proactive, positive, discipline and fearless to solve the problems with calm. Also, I have a lot of experience living in extreme adventures in environments like jungles (months working in amazon), Ushuaia ice trekking adventure (South of Argentina), Galapagos Islands and working in favelas/slams.... I learn in these 20 years of this kind of experience to manage the complications and enjoy. I lived with people from different cultures and countries and I love to learn from this sharing time, because I lived in Ecuador and Argentina and travel many times to USA and Europe (Italian nationality). I´m a sportive person and strong, love swimming , running, tennis and trekking, but also like to read, cook, design and play the Lego or mecano/ or invent games with children (I have 2 nephews, 7 and 12). Finally, I did the Red Cross course, for first aid and know about the manual and technical work in the boat. Thanks a lot for reading, and hope to join some of you to keep learning. See you in the water :) | |
