I'd agree, that many people will crew for relatively little money, and paying their air fare, and feeding them will often get you fairly well qualified crew. The interviewing process, to weed out the slackers and whackjobs, is probably going to be much more difficult. Many will do this type of passage for the experience gained.
I would definitely look for someone who has an STCW95 certification at a minimum.
Be aware that you are legally responsible for this person, as the captain of the boat they're on, and have some serious legal responsibilities regarding their behavior in many foreign countries.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
