Looking for crew opportunities in Jan/Feb in The Americas - Experienced & Positive Minded!!!

Hello!

A bit about me....I am a 42 year old guy who has spent his adult life split between North and South America, Asia, and Europe, Barcelona has been home(base) for the last 8 years. I have spent my entire adult life traveling the world. I consider myself an environmentalist and also believe in social justice and equality. I love to enjoy life but always try and make ethical life decisions. You could say I am "Ethically Hedonistic" ;)

I spend a lot of time in nature, camping, hiking, sleeping under the stars. I have lived a pretty nonconventional adventurous life, I rode a 40 year old vintage motorcycle all through India and Nepal and then all the way from New Delhi to Barcelona. Lived in an old VW bus I bought in Sao Paolo and drove to the Amazon. Traveled through Indonesia, Philippines, Mongolia, and Western China and parts of Central America by motorcycle. Kayaked 1000km of a remote river in Siberia, etc. etc..... Plenty more stories to tell like these but you get the idea....happy vagabond :)

I speak English, Spanish, and passable Portuguese. I don't smoke. Very positive minded/optimistic personality. I get along with pretty much everyone (I've lived, worked, and co-habitated with people from dozens of countries on 4 continents).

Regarding my sailing experience, I started getting into sailing 4 years ago, took a one week class to get some foundational knowledge and started jumping on boats here and there in the Mediterranean where I live to gain some experience. Then I managed to hitchhike across the Atlantic which was a great experience and in years after continued doing small trips and crossings in The Med. But I realized I would not really feel competent unless I threw myself into the deep end so to speak, so last year I bought an old 8.5m boat in Florida for $7000 and sailed it to The Bahamas, cruised around there a bit until it was time to sell it and return home to Spain. Captaining my own boat was a great and humbling experience! All told I have probably done around 6,000nm at sea. Most of that crewing but some was when I was captaining that little boat in Florida/Bahamas.

Maybe the best way to learn more about me and read some references is just to check out my couchsurfing profile: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/jordan_j

I share all this here because it's important for me to have a good connection with the captain and crew of any boat I might join; similar interests and life experience for example, but at least similar values and an easy going and respectful demeanor. So if you think I might be a good fit on your boat please do let me know why. Thanks!

Looking forward to hear from you!
