Sailor and fulltime liveaboard with loads of time to focus on remote projects.

I am a fulltime liveaboard on my own 43 foot yacht, currently in Cape Town, South Africa. I spent 6 months as a skipper in the Greek islands last year and have a passion for travelling and exploring different cultures.

Due to my nomadic lifestyle I am an ideal candidate for tackling remote projects. My husband is a software developer so our internet is top notch.

He is quite busy with software contracts and I keep myself occupied working with several clients in a social media marketing capacity. I do freelance work as I love to write, proofread and edit.

Efficient, accurate, quick learner and results driven.
