About me:

I love to travel the world and learn about different cultures/countries. I work as a snowboard trainer, travelling to snow schools around the world to help train instructors.

After living a life of 'relative luxury' within the ski industry for the past few years, I'm exploring how to live more simply and sustainably.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS offers an opportunity to meet open-minded, interesting people and get a much more 'local view' of a place. The best way to avoid getting trapped on the tourist trail - insider knowledge leads to some crazy adventures and exciting experiences!

Interests

Adventure, travel, sports, culture, music, science and psychology.

I'm not very good at some of them but enjoy trying!

Snowboard, surf, ski, longboard, wakeboard, canyoning, hiking, long distance walking, camping...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed a 1900m volcano (Mt. Yotei, Japan) in the middle of winter, by moonlight before snowboarding into the crater at sunrise!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm especially interested to learn from people who have been raised in a different background to my own. To continue the appreciation of other cultures and learn how to continually be a better person.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A passion for the outdoors and hopefully some interesting experiences!
