Travel information

Description

We are Sean and Carris, a couple of 15 years from England and have been traveling since 2012. We started our journey with a one way ticket to India and have been going ever since.

After being abroad for the majority of our 20's, we have settled in Banff, Canada and have residency here. We love being in the mountains, hiking, climbing, fishing, going on back country adventures, cold water dips etc.

We have so far had 10 workaway experiences and have enjoyed each and every one, the hospitality, generosity and openness of people around the world has made us feel very lucky and humbled that we have the opportunity to travel and explore.

It is our dream to eventually open our own campsite/ecolodge/hobby farm/coffee shop/brewery, however there is still so much to see so this may become more of a retirement plan!

We are really interested in self sustainability practices, natural eating/foraging and self sufficient living. We love to learn and embrace more about this lifestyle.
