__________________________________________________________________________________________

My name is Lindsay - I am a Mathematics teacher, from Long Island, New York, but have been living in Norway since 2018. I am a world traveler (HoleStories.com) and have recently transitioned to teaching online (so that I can be anywhere in the world, always).

I am an avid snowboarder and practically live in the mountains in the winter, but a grew up on an island, so the sea also has a special place in my heart. The salt air, the smell of the tides, the wind in my face, etc. remind me of home.

I don't have any official training for how to control a boat, but I love to learn and love to travel, so I'm ready and eager to do anything you tell me to do so that we can explore together!

I actually really love living in tight spaces - I have a "tiny house" in Seattle (about the size of a van), and I have lived in my car for months at a time (multiple times), driving all over North America. I also love meeting new people - I consider myself an "extroverted introvert" in the sense that I am very sociable and can shoot-the-shit with anyone in the world for hours on end, but I also really love my alone time and have no problem locking myself inside my tiny space for days just entertaining myself.

Please let me know about any additional information you may need.
Thank you for reading; I appreciate your time!

Lindsay

1,5 weeks of sailing with Lindsay

I spent 1,5 weeks of sailing with Lindsay. She is a cheerful, friendly and responsible person. She is quite easygoing and with similar people around we had great joy together; sailing/ drinking. She is quite funny and time actually flies by… She did not know much about sailing but she is a very very quick learner and nearing the end she was close to an experienced crew. I would definitely recommend sailing with her and also spending time together as well.

Easy going, friendly and capable crew member

I recently had the pleasure of spending 2 weeks with Lindsay on-board my boat. While Lindsay was pretty fresh to sailing, she learnt quickly and became a reliable crew member. She's happy to get stuck in and do what's needed. We spent 2 weeks cruising around the Ionian with shorter hops down south and slightly longer sails up north. The first week there were 3 of us onboard from different parts of the world and we all had a great time with a lot of laughs. Lindsay is friendly, easy going and full of fun/random facts which make for great conversation and company. I happily recommend her as crew and look forward to more adventures in the future.
