My name is Andrei. I'm seafarer.
Work at sea for me is not only my job — this is style of my life.
I already visited almost 50 countries in different parts of the world, and it was possible only because of my job!
4-5 months at sea sometimes including so different experience! Different countries, different people, different cultures, and between all of them always we have few days at sea — just our vessel, ocean and beautiful sea sunrises and sunsets.
But after long contract I always have long vacation, this is also very important part of seafarer's life. This months I can spend for traveling and world exploring! As a result I have ideal formula of my life!;)
