| Hi! I would like to sail across the Atlantic preferably in May. I will be in Colombia and can come to any boarding location in the region (eg: Cuba, Virgin Islands, ...) . I have already been travelling for 11 months trough North- and Central-America and would love to go back to Europe by sailing instead of flying. For the last part I can take a flight home from any location on the other side of the Atlantic. I am a very open-minded 26 years old male. I think I am polite and friendly, or at least I try to be :) I am an engineer and of course eager to learn and gain more sailing experience. I do enjoy the occasional party but can very much enjoy the sea and nature in general as well. I have limited experience but I really look forward to learn more and do a major ocean crossing. In general I get along with other people well and I hope to partake in an amazing journey and make it unforgettable together with the rest of the crew. | |
