| Good day I come from a background of business and banking and after I completed my studies I decided to pursue my true passion, which is sailing and exploring. Over the past three years, I have acquired as much information about yacht maintenance and construction as possible. Now I am ready to increase my sailing knowledge and experience. I am very hard working and socially very amicable. My greatest dream is to sail around the world and visit remote places and learn from different cultures. I look forward to proving myself a great asset to any captain and crew and contribute to the memorable experience for guests. | |
