Hello, I am a 26 year old Canadian looking for employment on a yacht or fair sized boat. I have very little experience but am eager to learn. I am currently based in Vancouver but am looking forward to packing my bags when the right opportunity arises! I would like to find a position suited to my abilities on a cigarette smoke free (or minimal smoke) vessel that can incorporate my love for travel with my enthusiasm for delivering exceptional customer service. I'm very comfortable with learning new skills, from bar service to flower arranging and look forward to contributing some positive energy and a sense of humor to your crew. I consider myself dedicated, professional, down-to-earth and I possess a valid Canadian passport. My interests include health-conscious meal preparation, travel, art, rockclimbing, yoga, learning and indulging in new experiences. I get along with anybody and everybody and thrive on adventure...
