I'm a friendly, chilled out guy who has travelled, worked and lived abroad in many countries, usually in the mountains for snowboarding and hiking.

I've just moved to Vancouver from the UK and will be working and living here for a good while and looking forward to getting to know the city and build a community here.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really like documentaries about the environment but also the odd action movie or psychological thriller.

My music taste is generally towards rock, metal and indie but I always bring headphone so don't worry about loud music!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snowboarded inside the crater of a live volcano - Mt Yotei in Hokkaido, Japan.

Teach, Learn, Share

I work and read a lot around environmental and sustainability issues but also around meditation and spirituality and am open to all sorts of conversation and topics.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I used to be a chef and still have a passion for food so can cook for you. (I am vegan so would prefer to only cook plant based meals for you)
