| Reading the description about crossing the Atlantic sounds like an adventure I'd love to be part of! I've just arrived to Santiago after walking the Camino de Santiago from Porto with the intention to find my next steps. During the walk I've been reminded of seeing this post many times and it makes be believe this could be where the path leads. I remember sailing with my granddad growing up but haven't sailed since. Recently the longing to be on the ocean and learn to sail has become strong. Lived in a community this summer where i volunteered in the kitchen cooking vegan food for retreat guests. Ratatouille, Chili sin carne, curries and different kinds of vegetable stews were my speciality. | |
