Cornelis Van leeuwen

Warmond

Summary

My name is Cornelis van Leeuwen, I’m 19 years old and currently travelling through Australia to explore more of the world and reconnect with part of my family here. I’m a hardworking and disciplined person who enjoys being active, working with my hands, and learning by doing. I have a strong passion for boats and the water, but I’m equally comfortable in construction, logistics, and customer-facing roles. I’m always eager to take on new challenges, meet new people, and develop both practical and personal skills along the way.

spent two years working on a push tug in inland shipping. I was responsible for all deck duties including mooring, rope handling, cleaning, painting, and general maintenance. Occasionally, I was allowed to assist with steering and docking under supervision. It was physically demanding but also the job I enjoyed most — I liked being outdoors, working hands-on, and being part of a small, close-knit crew.


  • Developed valuable skills in seamanship, navigation, firefighting, damage control, security measures, and first aid through rigorous training programs aboard the vessel.
  • Assisted in docking procedures, effectively handling mooring lines and securing the vessel to the pier.
  • Provided first aid treatment to injured personnel when necessary, stabilizing patients until medical professionals arrived on scene.
  • Contributed to successful missions by performing essential tasks such as standing watch, steering, and operating deck machinery.
