| Hi! A great lover of water, but especially of the Mediterranean Sea (originally from Majorca in Spain) I have always had an important relationship with water. I practiced 5 years of diving in a club (level 2) and for 15 years, I practice apnea in the sea and in the swimming pool. I am also a freelance architect and work for different types of projects ranging from the renovation of apartments in Paris to the transformation of a farm into a tourist reception area (Agrotourism / ecotourism) in Mallorca. At the end of 2022, I start a trip of a few months in South America, a continent that has attracted me for many years! Following an internship with the Glénans, I discovered this superb experience of navigation and sailing. This made me want to combine sailing and my trip to live an unforgettable adventure starting with a transatlantic. In the end, I have little sailing experience on a sailboat, but I am particularly motivated and lively, I learn quickly, I have a good ability to adapt, I am said to be a rather good cook and my various backpacking trips (Japan, Southeast Asia, Mongolia on a motorcycle, Interrail) gave me a taste for adventure and the unknown! During the month of September I made a short crossing between Marseille and Menorca then Mallorca to learn more about the experience of a crossing. | |
