- I am currently living in Lefkada, Greece - so please reach out if you like to meet up here! -

Hi new friend! Nice to virtually meet you. My name is Dominique and I'm a happy person from the Netherlands. I truly love to meet new people. On a bus, at a party or just here!

I have been around BOATS somehow a lot the past years⛵️ because the sound of water is like music in my ears and simply gives the sense of true freedom. I am planning to buy my own boat soon so hopefully I’ll be able to host you on it too and share my passion for sailing 😍 Also kitesurfing has become a big passion (but omg the gear is not easy to travel with😂) so please get in touch if you know good spots or want to hit the water together 🤙🏻 Lefkada has some great spots.

Workwise I’ve kinda been all over the place: I worked on a dolphin spotting sailboat in NZ, scubadive boat on Great barrier, and now as beachcleaner on boats in Norway which is a dream job as we get to discover rural places and clean the ocean. Before all this I was lucky enough to live and work on many farms; a dairy farm(this basically ment that 95% of the time I was covered in shit😀🐐), a paua(sea shell) farm and apple farm. Through the years I discovered my new favorite way to travel: work and live with locals! Don’t move too fast and become temporary part of their furniture & system 🪐

Currently I work as a skipper in Lefkada, Greece. It's my job to organise holidays for families/group and sail them around Greece; a DREAM JOB! And I am so lucky I get to call this my home now!

Are you interested in sailing with me or hiring me as a skipper? More info on my website: www.captaindominique.com

I am a very open minded individual and embracing all experiences life has to offer🌈
Please reach out if you feel our paths should cross!
