My name is
Mauro, I'm 28 years old and coming from
Switzerland. Last week my journey
around the world started.
I took the train from Bern and now I'm in
Alicante. My dream is to
cross the Atlantic without any emissions, to learn more about seamanship and to live with nature. After graduating, I worked as an accountant to save
money for my dream. Now the time has come, I quit my job, my flat to go on the biggest adventure of my life.
I am eager to learn more about seamanship, sailing, the ocean, other cultures and so on. As I have nearly no experience in sailing, I would like to
gain some
experience in de
Med, around
Canaries or on the way to Cab Verde to test my seaworthiness and to
learn more
about sailing. I'm willing to give a hand where I can (cooking,
cleaning, watches/steering/navigation). I speak
German (native language,
English, Spanish & French.
I am an adventurous, sporty, open-minded, uncomplicated, tidy & clean guy who loves the sea (surfing,
diving PADI open
water etc.). Moreover, I love to be in nature such as hiking, camping, biking... Last but not least, I also really enjoy just to read a good book.
Actually, I am now on my way along the coast to Huelva/Cadiz. There I'm gonna take the
ferry to the
Canaries, if I don't find a
boat before. But in fact I'm
open to every plan changes... I spent allready some time on boats (once around 50 hours) and I'm pretty sure I will
not gonna get
seasick. But you never know, and that's why I have some medicaments with me and why I would like to test it before I go for the
passage.
Furthermore, for sure I'm
willing to contribute for the journey.
I hope to get a chance, at least for some daily trips to gain some experience.
