Hola! We are a travelling couple from Australia (Redcliffe) and Spain (Mallorca). We spent the last two years living together in Canmore (Alberta) enjoying the mountain life and all the activities and people it brings. Last Winter we set ourselves a challenge to live in a RV for the entire Winter to save money for travel in Summer. Long story short everything worked out! We really enjoyed the simplified life and making videos and blogs sharing our experiences with others along the way. Have a look at www.wanderlustvanlife.com for all the info on that adventure. Now that the snow has melted we have cut our anchor and set sail for beautiful British Columbia in our almighty Ford van (Cameron).

Alex has been on couch surfing for a few years look at his references here: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/alexander.roe

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get in touch with the locals, giving us an authentic feel for the area we are visiting and to share and learn ideas from all walks of life along the way.

Interests

Everything outdoors! Mainly hiking, biking and rock climbing but we are always out to experience new things in the wilderness. Alex is also very passionate about landscape photography www.alexanderroephotography.com you will rarely catch him without a camera in hand :)
