Description
We met 5 years ago while working at the same ski resort in Canada. David was over on a working holiday visa from Australia and Jordan took time off nursing to enjoy the winter snowboarding in the mountains. We immediately hit it off. After the ski season we did a van life trip down the west coast of the USA. Since then we have worked and traveled together around Canada, USA, Australia and most recently a winter season in Hakuba, Japan.
We are looking to deeping our experience in Japan and try new roles and see new places!Interests
