I work as a marketing manager at Click&Boat in sunny Barcelona and feel most at home on the water. Sailing is my passion and I even spent a chapter of my life living on a sailboat. Now, I enjoy sharing tips, stories and advice to help others discover boating and create their own magical moments at sea.
