OBJECTIVES
Over the past 24 years I have been working in the outdoor industry/ enviroment
with a wide range of groups, from children with learning and physical difficulties to management groups and instructing governing body courses to fellow Outdoor enthusiasts and members of the public.
My interests are all outdoor activities, which I pursue on a regular basis. Kayaking is the sport which I participate in at a higher level, and use it to travel the world and meet people with similar interests. So far, I have been to Nepal, India, Kazakhstan, Kirghistan,Canada,Ecuador and New Zealand and travelled extensively throughout the European Alps, Over the last 10 years i have been living and working in Switzerland in the summer month in the adventure tourism industry as a canyoning and raft guide and in the winter as a ski instructor and as a lift operative in the ski resort of flims laax Falera
over the last 4 winters i have been working in ski shops selling and renting skis aswell as sevicing and ski,s
