There’s a traveller behind every story
Saxon, British travel correspondent
Saxon is responsible for informing and inspiring the Sailsquare community by sourcing and telling stories.
During his International Business studies in the UK, he had the opportunity to come and work in Paris – and after 7 short months here – he decided he had to come back. Luckily he discovered the Sailsquare mission, and has been based at in the French capital ever since.
Alyzée, dreamseller
Alyzée is a “Dreamseller”, an explorer who travels the world, sharing what life is like on a sailboat. In 2018, she joined Sailsquare following our advert for what we believe is “the coolest job in the world”.
She was born in the south of France, raised in the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, and before joining the Sailsquare team studied for a Masters degree in Paris.
Now, in her role, she creatively experiments with different forms of storytelling – and shares her adventures, both here on A Lens Over The Sea, and over on Instagram.
Raphael, the pirate of the Caribbean
Raphael is a French skipper who crossed the Atlantic 6 years ago to reach some isolated islands near Panama. Recently, he came back to France to explore the Mediterranean Sea. Legend says he buried treasure under a palm tree on a tiny island of the San Blas archipelago – a true pirate!
Ella, the yoga traveller
Ella may surprise you if you are lucky to sail with her! Born and raised in Israel, she left her home country to travel the world every six months. Her passion? Yoga! You’ll be amazed to see her head standing on the deck every morning. Her favourite destinations? Warm & delicious tropical beaches.
Andrés, the competitor
Andrés is the owner of the Yanira, a vintage sailboat racing around Europe. Living in Barcelona, he started his own company to give people the opportunity to live incredible regatta experiences. What he really loves? To lead an international crew on race day, and to win. As you might have understood, he’s a competitor.
