CURRENT MISSION

We are spending a month travelling around BC to see where we would like to live for the next few years :) Mainly focused on Squamish, Okanagan, Nelson, & Revelstoke but open to suggestions! Anywhere with good adventure sports.
My girlfriend (Julia) and I have been living in Chamonix for a couple of years now and are beginning to look for a new place to settle down in, preferably somewhere with fantastic climbing, mountains and friendly people :)

ABOUT US

I'm a very active, positive person who loves mountain adventure sports - especially climbing & mountaineering. I'm english but have lived in Scandinavia with my Swedish girlfriend for 3years, and the French Alps for 2years. Julia has a lot of similar interests, and comes from a bilingual family so speaks Spanish, Swedish and English fluently! We're vegetarian but have no problem with others eating meat. We have been living in Chamonix for 2years climbing & snowboarding and have loved it! But are now looking for the next place to live, and potentially to make a home.
Obviously I love to travel, and enjoy learning new cultures. Personality wise i'm a very happy, social person who tries to see the best in people, but I imagine everyone on this website says that! The stuff about me that's a bit more unique is i'm a climbing instructor and love to take beginners out abseiling / climbing, and also passionate about making cocktails.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met some great locals in the Bernese Oberland, got to go paragliding, fun nights out, but haven't actually stayed on anyone's couch yet!

Interests

Climbing & mountaineering is first on my list! We try to get out camping as much as possible. Though i do enjoy a bit of luxury - go to a nice bar or have a nice meal. In general i keep myself active and always keen to try out a new adventure sport. I've been bartending for a long time so definitely like the cocktail industry, and of course the whole experience of travelling to new places and hearing all the stories people have to tell.
