**Objective**:
Looking for a position as Competent Crew, Cook, or Friendship on board. Eager to gain new experiences, meet interesting people, and contribute to successful sailing trips. And, of course, to travel! As Mark Twain said, "On your deathbed, you will regret two things: that you loved too little and traveled too little." Among my literary inspirations are "Monsoon Dervish" and the characters from Jack Kerouac's "The Dharma Bums" (but without the self-destruction ?).
**Additional Information**:
- Passionate about travel and an active lifestyle. I own a kayak and, before discovering sailing, I often went on weekend trips with a tent, either with friends or later with my son.
- Open to long-term trips and flexible schedules.
