Name: Jacob

Position on Board: Chief mate

Nationality: Denmark

History with Greenpeace: I have been a Greenpeace supporter for years, and had thought about working on the ships many times. Then I joined my local group, and did some actions with them.

Finally, it was the right time in my life to work on a Greenpeace ship.

This is my second tour on a Greenpeace ship tour. My first was when I recently worked on a Greenpeace Nordic ship.

Favourite forest: As a sailor I have been all over the world. I was just in Borneo. I like the jungle there because it is full of life, but I also like the forests in Finland - where I spent a lot of time when I was growing up. I don't think I can pick a favourite.

Likes best about the Esperanza: It's good for the big oceans, and long distances.
