| My name is Manuel, a 23 year old austrian (yes the country in central europe with no ocean access) Currently i finished my bachelor at University of Vienna and earned some money with playing poker professionally even i never thought about making money with it, i just wanted to play und learn more about me and the game, which kind of made a different person out of me. I´m taking now some years of and plan to "travel" south and northamerica, as i always been a person who likes challenges I thought about sailing from Europe (La Gomera) to the Carribean in November. Since i have only little experience in sailing it is not doable for me alone, i think more of doing it with a team or another person. I wish i can learn a lot from this experience and other people. Physically and mentally I`m totally in the right mode to do it, as I also played my whole life nearly every kind of sport especially soccer etc. I very good in learning things fast, so I hope I can help to make the trip an adventure for everybody. | |
