About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel and Climb in the most beautiful mountain ranges in the World. (Oh and of course SKI!!!)

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty much into anything outdoors... Climbing, skiing, surfing (badly), kayaking, rafting, canyoning (made a homemade whitewater raft). Pretty big into fitness of all sorts as well, love to swim and I run occasionally. I've lived in the Canadian Rockies, Ireland, and now France and I try to travel as much as possible! I worked as an adventure tour guide in the Rockies last summer but have now set up my own tour company in Vancouver that runs surf, hiking, rafting and BEER tours! I also love to party!!

PHILOSOPHY

Laugh and play hard. Be as ridiculous as you can be.
