Specialisation

I specialise in the following areas:

• Automotive
• User / operation manuals
• Mechanics / mechanical engineering
• Information technology
• Electronics / electrical engineering
  

During the circumnavigation of the planet without flying and without any sponsors, which lasted over 15 years from 2009 to 2024, and spanned over continents of Europe, Africa, Latin America, Oceania and Asia, as well as Atlantic and Pacific and Indian oceans, I learned many skills and gained practical mechanical knowledge by having to repair and maintain different kinds of vehicles (motorbikes, cars, vans, bicycles and sailing boats) and by having to work in many different areas to sustain my journey.

In addition to mechanical knowledge, I gained experience in sailing vessels navigation and maintenance, learned of immigration procedures in dozens of different countries, hands on skills in carpentry and construction and most importantly a deeper understanding of our planet and people.

All these different experiences helped me to shape a work method which is always focused on quality rather than speed.
