       1. When and how was your first experience in the world of navigation?

I started sailing with Sergi in 1996. Keep in mind that being from Andorra and I had no idea about sailing.

      2. Finish the sentence: NAVIGATION FOR ME IS…

A way of living. Get to know destinations in a different way and have a very special connection with the sea and its species.

      3. If you had your own boat, what would you call it and why?

“The five”, for all the experiences lived sailing with my husband and our three daughters.

     4. Which trip have you enjoyed the most and why?

On all the trips I have enjoyed a lot, because each one is different. On all trips there are very special moments with the people you travel them with. But if I have to choose which destinations I liked the most, I would say Polynesia, La Paz and the Maldives, because of how exotic they are.

     5. What is the moment or time you like the most during each trip?

I couldn't tell you, there are many... but when you sail and you see dolphins, whales, turtles in freedom, especially while snorkeling. It's a spectacular feeling. The sunset too, when the sun sets on the horizon and there is nothing to prevent you from seeing it. And the good times with the friends or family with whom you share the trips.

    6. Can you tell us about any big scares you've had while sailing?

Some storm, but if you are prudent nothing serious happens and everything just is a scare.

    7. And any anecdote that you remember and want to share?

I remember that in Baja California we saw many whales, sea lions and even the whale shark. And, when we went to San Blas, some indigenous Indians who lived there took us into the jungle to see some waterfalls.

   8. What is the most important learning you have learned from your entire experience at sea?

As I have said before, for me it is already a way of living from which you extract many values ​​such as respect for nature, coexistence and, above all, I have learned to enjoy and get to know many destinations.

   9. What destination are you planning to go to next?

The island of Sicily, in Italy, and I'm already thinking about going to Brazil.

  10. Lastly, any advice to give to someone who has never navigated?

Let it start with an easy destination, to know the experience. And, as I am sure you will like it, you will be doing more destinations.
