Completing my round of the world, sailing back to Europe (via Brazil -> Caribbeans -> azores or african west coast)

Hi, I am Mauro and I love sailing. In october 2017 I quit my job and decided to sail around the world. Since then I have crossed as first mate the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans on different sailing yachts (references available). At this moment I am in Cape Town SA, looking for a special boat to cruise with (towards the Caribbean or Europe) or a job opportunity (skipper as well first mate on bigger vessels).

I love sailing and the sea, I love to meet new people, and I love to visit remote places in a sustainable way. I was already in love with sailing before starting this around the world adventure: I've been professional Skipper (during my holidays from the job) in the Mediterranean sea and I also have fun on sailing dinghies like laser 2-3-4k and ufo22. I can take care of all the different aspects of the passage planning and making. I am easy-going and I know how life on board is. I'm respectful and I get along with everybody.

I like cooking, even in rough weather! I speak Italian, English, German and Spanish at a good level and now I'm learning French.
