Food Safety Level 2
Languages: Fluent English, Spanish basic

I am from the Southwest of France, from the Bask country where I have spent all my life leaving by the Atlantic Ocean.
In hospitality service since my young age and in the yachting in the last 4 years, I found in this industry a perfect field to combine life at sea, my passion for travel and my skills. I also used to be a cook and I have a deckhand certificate.
During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, hiking and going off the beaten path.
People say that I am a sun beam who likes to spread positive energy around me!
