Who am I?
Hi, I’m Vincent!
I am French, was born in 1988 and grew up in the sunny south of France. I am software engineer, speak French 🇫🇷, English 🇬🇧, a bit of Norwegian 🇳🇴 and Spanish 🇪🇸.
And we are actually two: Raquel shares this dream with me since the fall 2021!
📍 Currently in Algarve, Portugal
To live and work onboard for the both of us, we had to change boat. Here we are: we just did it 😁!
After an intense spring of work and boat change, here we are again on the water. We left from the basque country and are heading toward the Canaries.
The transition is not yet finished, we’ll try to keep you updated as we go!
