CURRENT MISSION

To travel Europe for 6-7 months! Plan to do lots of hiking along the way. Then return to Canada for another winter season

ABOUT ME

Grew up in Sydney, graduated university, decided to take a gap year before becoming an accountant, after a couple months I called up my parents and said I'm going to be away for 2 or more years. For the 1st year i've been living and working in Canada as a ski/snowboard instructor in the winter and a high ropes course instructor in the summer. Getting up to various trips including hiking, back country touring, canyoning and rock climbing. Friends would probably say I have some crazy ideas when it comes to adventures, always coming with new plans and ideas. Consider myself to have a good sense of humour, out going and enthusiastic personality. I'm always up for trying new things and meeting new people.

Teach, Learn, Share

Irrelevant to couchsurfing, but;
Tip: If you're camping in below freezing temperatures, and your socks are wet, DON'T TAKE THEM OFF thinking they will dry overnight, rock solid in the morning.

Also, my new aim is try and fall asleep whilst standing up.
