Activities we are interested in:
We both seek experiences that allow us to immerse ourselves in different cultures, meet new people, spend time outside and become familiar with places that were once unknown to us.
Description
We are a young couple currently living in Southeast Alaska working as bicycle tour guides for the summer season. We both grew up in Bellingham, Washington which instilled in us a love for the great outdoors. This interest has brought us to many different amazing locations where we have both worked at a wide variety of jobs, that included the culinary industry, outdoor education, construction, landscaping, tour guiding and more. This wide array of jobs has allowed us to diversify our skill set in a way that has made us adaptable to all situations. We are always eager to learn new things and build upon these skills and are hoping to find a new stomping ground to both develop our abilities as well as leave a positive impact on the space that we stay.

English: Fluent
Spanish: IntermediateMore details about my language interests
I (Sofia) have spent a lot of my life learning Spanish and have had the opportunity to use it a lot in various practical settings throughout my travels and it is one of my favorite skills to improve upon. I find that it opens up so much more of the world when you are able to converse with people that speak a different language and allows you to immerse yourself in a culture so much more than you ever could without speaking the language. I think that learning other languages is a very important practice. Julien has sparked interest in speaking more Spanish in the last few years especially working at various jobs where most of his coworkers speak only Spanish. He is eager to learn more and we have a great time practicing with one another to build our skills.
