Looking for good wave & UW photography options AND/OR to build tidal miles
February 2024 Update:
I'm looking to sail in a place with lots of good wave & underwater photography opportunities, possibly with people who are interested in (free)diving and/or surfing too, so we look for these places and enjoy them together.
Another strong interest is building tidal miles to work towards a Yachtmaster. Normally I'll be available for passages and sailing for a month or two from January til mid March 2024.
Looking for positions as Competent Crew / Delivery Crew / Deckhand.
I'm open to different financial arrangements; work in exchange for the costs, shared costs or paid work. It all depends on what kind of exchange it is and what the skipper/owner expects from the crew.

I'm happy to do any kind of work on the boat and keen on learning more about sailing & everything related to boats and boat maintenance.
I have a positive attitude and motivation to learn. Open minded, love to meet and interact with people and always look for the good side of everything. A simple smile can go a long way in making the world a better place ;)
I'm vegetarian with a preference for vegan food but I keep it simple and I'm happy to cook as long as you're in for a veggie meal :)
I play guitar and sing & will happily play a few tunes for you!
