Explorer Looking for a Boat!
Hi, my name is Moriz, I’m 21 years old, and I’m from Germany. Right now, I’m still in Germany, but towards the end of this year or early next year, I'm going to quit my job and start travelling the world. I look for someone to sail with to gain experience.
My Plan:
I’ve never sailed before, but I’m a fast learner, good with my hands, and always ready to help out. My goal is to start sailing in Europe, gain some experience, and then find a boat to cross the Atlantic. I’d love to spend a few months in the Caribbean before making the return crossing back to Europe.
About Me:
I speak fluent German and English. I enjoy outdoor sports like climbing, hiking, and kayaking. I don’t need much for sleeping – as long as I can lie down, I’m fine. I’ve spent many nights outdoors and know a couple things about survival and bushcraft. My favorite way to sleep? In a hammock! If there are two trees (or masts), I’m good to go. I can cook, and it usually turns out pretty good. But I have never cooked on a boat :)
I’m a trained media designer for print with experience in graphic design. As a hobby I photograph, make videos and sometimes make music. I have a drone, action cameras, and professional editing skills – so if anyone needs help with social media, a website, or high-quality footage, I’d be happy to assist!
Gear & Equipment
I already have a lot of useful equipment, including snorkling equipment, really waterproof rain clothing. I also have sleeping bag, hammock, sleeping mat, and even a portable stove (gasoline-powered) – so I’m pretty well prepared for everything!
Coming about that, I’m a big fan of safety. I like to plan things thoroughly and make sure everything is well thought out so that nothing goes wrong. I’m a responsible person because I want to experience as much as possible in life – and that means staying safe while doing it! That’s why I’d love to find someone with a lot of experience in sailing who I can learn from.
What I’m Looking For:
I’m looking for a boat where I can learn to sail and help out. Ideally, I’d like to start in Europe before eventually crossing the Atlantic. I’d also love to have some video calls with the crew beforehand to make sure we’re a good match.
Costs
I’m okay with sharing food costs, but ideally, I’m looking for a boat where accommodation is already covered. I don’t have a large budget, as I want to make my world trip last as long as possible.
If you need an extra pair of hands, someone who learns quickly, helps with all kinds of tasks, and documents the journey – feel free to reach out!
Best regards,
Moriz
