Looking to build tidal miles and/or a paid position starting next spring

I'd like to build tidal miles to work towards a Yachtmaster, starting in January 2025.

I'm also looking for a paid position starting next spring. I'm open to other options which might offer a win-win for everyone.

It would be perfect if I can get a position together with my partner (he has some sailing experience too) but it's not mandatory - I will consider offers for one crew as well.

Looking for positions as Competent Crew / Delivery Crew / Deckhand.

May 2020 - present: various daywork, X65 SY, Slovenia
May, July, August & Sept. 2019: 1st mate/delivery crew/admin, 1949 Sandhaven Ex MFV, 21m, between Elba, Corsica and Nice

June & August 2017: competent crew/deckhand, Lagoon 570 SY, Italy & Greece
Winters 2016/2017 and 2017/2018: daywork/maintenance of Lagoon 570 SY
August 2016: delivery crew, Lagoon 570 SY, from Athens to Slovenia
June & July 2016: hostess, St. Francis 50 SY, Ionian islands, Greece
October 2015: competent crew/deckhand, Lagoon 570 SY, Italy, Croatia & Slovenia

Sailed about 5200 NM in the Med, including 500 NM night sailing.

I've also been working as freelance photographer since 2007. My work can be seen here: https://barbaramilavec.com

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, play guitar and sing, and always look for the good side of everything. A simple smile can go a long way in making the world a better place ;)

My dream is to combine my passion for sea, sailing, nature conservancy and photography all in one.

Interested in good wave & UW photography opportunities, possibly with people who are into (free)diving and/or surfing too.

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 :)
