Hey, I'm James.

I'm a ski instructor with Element3 in Kitzbuhel, Austria! I love the mountains and the winter, nothing beats skiing down the Hahnankamm downhill course first thing in the morning!

Snowsports and watersports are the two best things in the world! Keen sailor and windsurfer.

Now taking a job on the Isles of Scilly for Summer 2017 as an RYA senior sailing instructor.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Its great to meet new people in new places... if you can stay with people for less than a hotel you get to meet new people, and spend more on all the fun things to do whilst you're there! I'd love to be able to host people, however due to still living at home/always being on the move its pretty tough!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

When the FIS Alpine World Cup came to Kitzbuhel in 2015, I was a "Rutschkommando" which is a slider. I helped prepare the course for the WC before and during race day! Have also taught Eddie Redmayne and his wife Hannah during their stay in Kitzbühel

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I enjoy teaching people new things, so if theres water near you, I'll happily help with sailing, or windsurfing. If theres snow, then its a dead cert I'll be on skis and able to give you some tips!

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I've recently returned from a month and a half in Indonesia and the Philippines. It was a great experience and I'd be happy to share those with you!
