Description
Hi! I’m Jamie, a university graduate from Scotland. After my degree I moved to Whistler, Canada for the 2021-2022 ski season and had the time of my life, skiing over 100 days! Since then, I have been road tripping the USA and Canada for the past 9 weeks.
I have been excited to travel to Central America since I met friends from Cuba, and further South in Chile and Columbia, while at university. I love living in new places and experiencing different cultures. As well as wanting to travel and hike, I am looking forward to improving my surfing and enjoying Costa Rica’s beautiful beaches.
My main interests revolve around sports, especially skiing, football and field hockey. I also enjoy playing the bagpipes as well as sustainability and conservation.
NOTE: I am travelling by myself (not in a couple) at the moment, as my partner has returned to universityInterests
