| Hi, I am a french Canadian that owns a beautiful piece of jungle in the Sierra Nevada of Colombia where we started a permaculture project 3 years ago. I travel Canada/Colombia every fall and spring and I dont want to take planes anymore. This is why it is time to start my life long dream of SAILING. I dont have sailing experience but I know it is in my blood. I am a healty and strong fast learner. I am also a great cook! I am flexible on diet, an open minded person, a guitar player and I love to philosophize about life. I am also independent when the time is needed. I have a bachelor's degree in Environmental Science. | |
