Life aboard a sailboat and language exchange in the heart of Dunkirk, France

  Descrição

  Hi, my name is Patrick. I planned to sail from Netherlands to Cadiz... but I never made it past Dunkirk.
  
  Since 2017, I've been working on a self-sufficiency project – envisioning stable, 100% local communities with zero oil and zero pollution.
  
  I launched a small experimental Permavillage in Belgium, where I tested 26 essential skills for living self-sufficiently.
  
  Most recently, I started a print-on-demand (POD) business, focusing on designs that celebrate international days – every day, side by side (sbs).

  Ajuda

  I am mostly interested in language exchange, to improve the languages I already know, and to learn languages I don't know. Plus, if you're vegetarian or vegan, I'd love to learn from you and discover some simple plant-based recipes.

  Acomodação

  Accommodation is, of course, on the sailboat. There are two single berths on either side and a double berth in the bow, separated by a curtain, offering a bit of privacy.
  
  Keep in mind that the boat is small, so close quarters are part of the experience. Also, you can’t stand up inside – which isn’t an issue for me, as I enjoy being outside or sitting comfortably indoors.
  
  Meals are simple: nuts, eggs, raw vegetables, pasta, and the like. There’s a small fridge and a cooker on board, so cooking is possible.
  
  Please note: the toilets and showers (which are very clean) are located about a 3–4 minute walk from the boat, via the pontoons.

  Algo mais...

  In their time off, helpers can enjoy life on a sailboat and in the heart of a lively port. The boat is docked in the city center, just a 10-minute walk from Dunkirk train station. Dunkirk offers long sandy beaches, a vibrant marina with cafés, and museums such as the Port Museum and the Dunkirk 1940 museum. All local buses are completely free, making it easy to explore the city and surroundings at no cost.
