One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled through Mexico in a 1973 VW bus for 6 months. I sailed 48days from Cale Town to St Maarten in the Caribbean... Still attempting to sail around the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m all about learning by doing.
I’m always excited to try something new and help where I can. I have a marketing and graphic design background, worked in fashion photography, advertising and movie sets before giving it up to sail. I am really hand (self taught engineer to some degree) and I am always up for a challenge. If I can help with anything I will certainly do so. I move around a lot, especially when I’m on the boat but I have plenty of space for visitors.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m a pretty decent cook and like to think I leave people better than I found them. Sharing information, skills and knowledge that I have acquired on my path. I have been blessed to have traveled to some really interesting places and can share information with people about these places or maybe even put them in touch with some good people to hang out with.
