| Hello sailors in French Polynesia and New Caledonia, My name is Christine and I am 48 years old. Languages are my passion, that is why I am speaking German, Dutch and English more or less fluently. I am also working as EU project manager at a famous German university with a focus on reducing plastic in oceans. I am a passionate outdoor lover and in my spare time I am always somewhere in nature. I love (solo) hiking, (wild) camping and exploring the world. I gained my first sailing experiences in 2005, when I was sailing with a friend and his parents on a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey in the British Virgin Islands for three weeks. After many active hiking vacations (Nepal, solo hike in the US) it is time for a more "relaxing" sailing vacation again. I just recovered from breast cancer and due to my long-term sick leave, I have left so much vacation. So perferrebly in winter 2022/2023 I am looking for a berth charter on preferrebly a catamaran to explore the South Pacific Islands (4-8 weeks, depending on availability). Is one of you looking for a crew member and would like to take me with you? I did the anchor during our BVI trip, but I also a great cook. And I also curious enough to learn more on your boat. So if you can help me to get my dream come true, please contact me! Cheers, Christine | |
