I went to a dance school, and that is what my degree was in. After I finished, I never wanted to step back into a studio again and found that my real passion is for the sea and yachting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q: Favourite thing to cook on a boat?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ayesha-firdaus-c3esWyvW3E4-unsplash-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59923\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A: When you&#8217;re looking out to sea via the port hatch &#8211; there is no other feeling that comes close! Whether you&#8217;re on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yachting_content\/amalfi_coast_charter.php?bbr=bblog\">Amalfi Coast<\/a>, or in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yachting_content\/ionian_islands_yacht_charter.php?bbr=bblog\">Ionian<\/a>, there is something very special about cooking on your boat! For me, it has to be a big bowl of pasta and salad with honey and feta. You can&#8217;t beat the comfort food X trying to be healthy food!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q: Monohulls or Cats?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>A: If I was a skipper, it would be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yachting_content\/bareboat_charter.php?bbr=bblog\">monohull<\/a>. If I had a group of 5+ people definitely a catamaran with a hired skipper!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q: Favourite place to sail?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"662\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/turkey-1146558_1920-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59925\"\/><figcaption>gocek turkey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A: I really love sailing in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yachting_content\/turkey_yacht_charter.php?bbr=bblog\">Turkey<\/a> &#8211; the food and the small towns are so authentic. The scenery is out of this world and there&#8217;s normally some great wind. I also love the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yachting_content\/lefkas_ionian_itinerary.php?bbr=bblog\">Ionian<\/a> &#8211; probably because I lived there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q: Have you ever been rescued by the coastguard?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>A: Yes&#8230;.twice! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q: Something you are ashamed to admit?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>A: I have never done any dinghy sailing&#8230; I was fortunate enough to learn on a 32ft wooden boat. I go by the motto &#8216;if you can&#8217;t make a hot drink on it, I&#8217;m not that interested&#8217; haha<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q: What do you enjoy most about working in yachting?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>A: To share my passion with other people, especially guests who have never done a yacht charter before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get to know our team at Boatbookings, starting with Alice! <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/2020\/05\/01\/get-to-know-us-interview-series\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">  Get to know us &#8211; interview series<\/span><span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":310,"featured_media":59919,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[7381,7383,7379,6524,6578,7377],"class_list":["post-59917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-yachting-news","tag-alice-in-the-bareboat-team","tag-bareboat-alice","tag-bareboat-team","tag-boatbookings-team","tag-boatbookings-yacht-charter","tag-team-of-boatbookings"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.5.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Get to know us - interview series - Yacht Charter News and Boating Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Get to know the team at Boatbooking better, starting with Alice!
