| Hello everyone! I'm new to Ocean Crew Link and I'm currently looking for a boat to cross the Atlantic heading from the Caribbean towards Europe in March/April/May 2019. I'm new to sailing but am eager to learn everything about it while helping out wherever help on the boat is needed (cooking, cleaning etc.). I'm a 25 year old globetrotter from Germany and quit my job working in marketing in the sustainable tourism industry in 2018 to travel Latin America open end with my backpack. It has always been a dream of mine to learn how to sail and live and work on a boat. I'm very clean, organized and hard working, speak 3 languages (German, English, Spanish) and LOVE the ocean. I'm easy going with a good attitude, get on with all tasks given to me and enjoy meeting people, making new friends. Hope to see you soon! | |
