Overview
About Me
Hello, currently on a ski season addiction chasing the winter north to south. Heading into my third season as an instructor, this time at Big White, BC. Finishing the year of working in four countries, Switzerland, Japan and New Zealand.
On such a high doing what I love, living in some incredible places has allowed me to meet some amazing people across the world!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
There is more to a city/town than a hostel!!!
Having hosted at my uni home and feeling what it's like to give someone a boss experience of the place you know best, i can't help but feel this is the best way to really experience a new place.
Interests
As a ski instructor, i'm pretty obsessed with all things powdery! However, I've worked many summers in the U.S as a watersports instructor so am partial to a bit of summertime heat.
Taken a particular interest in Japanese culture since working there this winter and plan to head back and possibly stay there long term, so on a grind to get the language down at the moment。

Music, Movies, and Books
Going to uni in Manchester there is pretty heavy house and techno scene, so listening to a Dixon set on a Wednesday afternoon is pretty normal. Still enjoy dialing it back every now and then and listening to some Jack Garrett or Honne.
To many people's dismay, I have my trusty kindle with me at all times, huge fan of Tim Ferris, Cal Newport, George Orwell any Stephan King.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
On a low level flying exercise with the Air Force jumped in the hot seat and hovered a 23m Merlin Helicopter for a little while!
Teach, Learn, Share
Huge believer in continuous learning; "the more you know, the more you know you don't know"
What I Can Share with Hosts
Been living on my own with friends for the past 4 years so know my way around a kitchen, can 100% help out or cook up some of my favourite dishes for my hosts.
Will more than likely be keen to explore the place i'm in and definitely party!!
