My dream: Hitchhiking boats to sail the seven seas. I fell in love with the Atlantic and fulfilled my dream to cross this deep blue ocean only recently. I did not stop there and continued my journey. Currently, I’m in Panama and stuck in the doldrum of Covid-19.
My sailing route to date
I’ve sailed all the way from northern Germany to Panama and have been crew on five sailing vessels along the way. Find out more about my journey in the map and timeline below.
