Heike Toussaint, female, 38

Ref 30908

Nationality: Germany
Currently based in: Cadiz, Spain
Looking for: Worldwide opportunities
Experience: 100 ocean miles / 0 coastal miles
I'm looking to crew on an Atlantic crossing, sailing from the coast of Spain or the Canaries westwards towards either the Caribbean or Brazil, with a possible stop over on the Cape Verde islands. Preferred departure date after January 10, 2019. I'm looking for a boat with good people, who are respectful of the environment and willing to share their knowledge of sailing and the ocean. Trained as an architect, I worked in Switzerland for the past few years. I have just a little sailing experience, but grew up near the ocean and am willing to learn. I can cook, I'm easy-going and I've just started playing the guitar. I am not looking for a luxury holiday, but for adventure and experiences.
Smoking: non-smoker
Relationship status: partnered
Dietary requirements: I value healthy, wholesome food and eat mostly vegetarian. I love fish - crayfish and other crustaceans not. Cooking is not a chore if the ingredients are good!
