I just helped a guy to bring his sailboat from Norfolk, Virginia down to the Bahamas. Enjoyed a few days in the Bahamas and now I’m trying to get back to Washington DC where my girlfriend lives. (We met last year when I was living in DC .) Trying to hitchhike my way back:) Help appreciated Moving back to Switzerland this summer. If you‘re ever in Zurich, Geneva or Grisons, hit me up:)

One Amazing Thing I've Done
All sailing I‘v done: Last one was a one month long journey from Virginia to the Bahamas. Failing transmission, storm, running aground, beautiful water, good food on board, night shifts with a clear sky full of stars… Another great thing I did was travelling through Iran: best cuisine and friendliest people you‘ll ever meet Living in DC and work for the Swiss embassy in 2025: Mad time in experiencing US politics first hand.
