| I am new into the world of sailing but have a fiery lust for life that makes these adventures perfect for me! I have travelled around the world solo since I was 17, seeking out new cultures and experiences. I love the ocean, am an avid diver and love to fish/cook. I am very easy going, have a sharp sense of humour and am able to keep light hearted in the worst of situations. I love to laugh, be free and think quick on my feet. I really dream of one day solo navigating the globe and am ready to learn all I can. | |
