Hello! I am a well traveled and avid sailor. I have been sailing BC coastal waters since I was 6, and am a dinghy and keelboat instructor. I also have race experience. AVAILABLE JULY 30 - AUGUST 16 - 2022 I am in Western Europe this summer, and would love to get on the water in any capacity. Happy to work for my keep, race, or just meet excellent people. I can easily get to France or Spain during the dates listed above. I am elementary school teacher from Canada, and would describe myself as enthusiastic, communicative, and adventurous. I also have an EU passport (dual citizenship!) if that is helpful. I love reading, nature, music, singing, biking, camping, sailing (obviously!), traveling and meeting new people. Hope to hear from you!
