Description
Hey! We're Milania and Mason, a couple from Alberta, Canada. We are currently planning a year of backpacking around Europe and Asia, hoping to see as much as the world has to offer. We enjoy physical activity and being in the sun all year round, whether that be hiking, camping, surfing or snowboarding. We're looking for an exchange that will teach us new things and allow us to experience different cultures and ways of life.
Currently, back home, Milania works as an afterschool program teacher for kids aged 4-12, alongside managing a social media account for a mental health non-profit. Mason works as a swim instructor, teaching people aged as young as 6 months up to 40 how to swim. As well as working in a warehouse doing shipping and receiving. We spend lots of time in the summers working to help upkeep and renovate an elderly couple's large property. This includes many odd jobs such as panting, gardening, lawn patience, pool maintenance, and general cleaning.
We both enjoy spending lots of time with others and are usually described as a very easy-going happy couple. We enjoy being outside and active as much as possible and love learning new things. Together we love to camp, hike, bike, rock climb, surf and spend lots of time with others. Milania loves spending time creating and sharing her love of art through various mediums such as painting, sewing, photography, graphic design and more. Mason, spends lots of time cooking for his family, and being active through rugby, basketball, and running.
