| Hi! I am an experience and keen sailing enthusiast. Born and raised in Gothenburg, Sweden where is was introduces to sailing after the age of six. Ever since my interest for ocean voyages have grown. My previous experiences stretches from coastal sailing in Sweden and short cross ocean trips to Denmark. I’ve been sailing and taking care of sailing yachts since I was 17 years old. Currently I am employed as a costal charter skipper in Croatia by More sailing. When this season ends in October I would like to continue develop my sailing skills onboard a yacht crossing the Atlantic. Besides my sailing interest I have a highly compatible personality which means I never fall out with anyone. Lastly when I’m not sailing I’m studying towards a degree in engineering at Chalmers university of technology in Gothenburg. Formally Industrial engineering and management. I look forward to a phone or video call, to properly introduce myself. | |
