Hi there fellow sailors!
I’m Wiebke, from Berlin, Germany and I love sailing (and will buy my own boat some day :))!

If you've made it this far, here's some more info about me:
I started sailing in 2018. Around the same time I finished my studies and started working full time in an office. I soon realised that I am not happy working 9-5 behind a desk, so in 2020 I decided to “take a year off" and live on a friend's boat in Panama. This “year off” has turned into 4 1/2 years of non-stop sailing on a variety of boats, around 10.000 nm under my belt and a change of career.
I love sailing and the sailing community and if you happen to be somewhere near me and need a helping hand for the trip and looking for some good company, hit me up!
Looking forward to meeting you!
(Oh yeah... Before I started to pursue a life at sea, I studied English and German literature, graduated in English Theatre Studies and worked mostly in PR and marketing for book-related things.)
