CURRENT MISSION

I want to travel everywhere and live as many lives as a can during this one.

ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Alyssa Barker. I got my degree and a real person job and decided I wasn't happy about it so now I'm a career ski bum. I chase winters, traveling between New Zealand and Mammoth Mountain. In between seasons, I get about a month and a half to travel so I'm pretty stoked on life. I love exploring on foot, bike, skis, anything out of a car. I'm friendly and my Mom thinks I'm funny.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ummm I abandoned my degree and career to do what I love and I'm happy

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a ski instructor. I've been a lacrosse and rugby coach. I know an obnoxious amount about beer. I want to learn how to do more stuff in the outdoors. Kayak, abseil, climb all sorts of junk.
