Hi! I'm Gianluca, 24 years old, male, originally from Milan (Italy). I've lived some years in Germany and some months in Spain (Canary Islands). I've become interested in the world of Sailing just a couple years ago, and so far I managed to get my RYA Day Skipper Certificate, but I do plan to get to higher levels, because of my love for the sailing world. Right now I don't have so many miles in my logbook, and this is the reason why I'm open to Ocean Crossing or any other sailing adventure. About me: I'm minimalist, vegan, environment-oriented, love to speak about philosophy and human rights. My languages are Italian (native), English (fluent), Spanish (very good), German (good) and now I'm learning French. No-smoker, no-drinker (well, I don't mind a beer after a long day) and always in a good mood! I've quit my job in Summer 2021 because I wanted to fulfil my passion for Sailing without bothering about constraints. Because also behavioural psychology interests me a lot, I've decided to study online to become a UX Designer, as a backup plan in case my sailing career does not take off. I can pay my own expenses to and from the vessel location in all Europe's Marinas. I can also pay my contribution for staying onboard as long as needed. Thank you, hope to meet you soon! | |
Smoking: | non-smoker |
Relationship status: | single |
Dietary requirements: | Vegan for a sustainability choice. But of course you can eat whatever you want as long as you don't force me to eat meat! :) |
