New York
Hi there! I’m a 22-year-old adventurer who’s just finished living on a sailboat for 6 months and obtaining my coastal skipper certification. Now I’m back home in New York, building an online business that will hopefully allow me to buy my own boat, and it can’t come soon enough! In the meantime time, still trying to get out on the water locally when possible, discovering the racing world, and taking on deliveries when the right opportunity presents itself.⛵️ Growing up between France and the U.S., and studying in Scotland and Australia, I’ve become a true citizen of the world. I’m always eager to explore new places, and connect with people from diverse backgrounds. That’s why I love the cruising life— bringing my home wherever I go and authentically experiencing how others live. When I’m not on the water, I’m diving into my other passion: science. I recently graduated with a degree in neuroscience and have a deep love for health and biomedical research. 🔬 I’m a big advocate for living a healthy lifestyle and can chat for hours about fitness, nutrition, self-growth, and philosophy. I thrive on pushing myself out of my comfort zone, being a yes-man, and inspiring others to pursue their dreams. Life is all about growth, adventure, and connection. 💖💭 I’ve been sharing my journey on Instagram. Feel free to reach out— I’m always excited to make new friends and share stories!

After a day on block island, we managed to obtain a new impeller and fix the engine. Headed back out in very flat conditions and motored all the way to Newport. FREEZING breeze but just so good to be out on the water 🫶 Boat: Peacemaker ker11.5
She’s back on the water!!!! This was a super lovely day of sailing but ended in a very near catastrophe. Lost our engine and decided to pull into port of refuge for shelter at night… let’s just say the situation was very poorly handled— I learn more and more every day about the kind of skipper I DON’T want to become. Thankfully we are safe and the boat didn’t get too damaged, but I had to set some very clear boundaries for the second part of the trip. On the bright side, I diagnosed and fixed the engine issue pretty much by myself, so very pumped about that!! Women in sailing >>>>>
My final sail for now… back to city living for a bit. It don’t worry, I’ll be back ❤️
Last day onboard. Screaming crying throwing up. I don’t want to go home… Anyways sailed off the mooring and into this anchorage. Time for one last dive 🫧
Hand steered this whole passage again which is just so fun?!! I never get tired of it 🥹
Let’s hope immigration lets me in 😅
Update: I did see sharks during the dive… and the current was craaazy so we burnt through the air pretty quick. But it was still a very cool wreck. And this was a stunning sail. Now at customs and immigration to check out, heading to the USVI tmrw :)
John and I are in our diving groove these days!! This one is supposed to have sharks though, I’m scared 😣 Will let you know how it goes…
I was so tired this afternoon! So I slept through most of this ngl…
Had two fun dives today! Last day in the BVI tmrw :’(
We made boat friends and sailed here with them!! I napped for most of the day because they came over for dinner yesterday and stayed until midnight. Which is very very late for me now. I am a boat life grandma.
This was fun!! Should do it more often 😋
Saw some racing boats on our way out, had a bit of rain, good winds…
Best point of sailing ever. Very comfy night (except for the wave that soaked our bed). Starry night and gorgeous sunrise… think I’m falling in love with night sailing again 💗
