It's my last day in Calgary. I have to admit I have not done a lot of walking in the city. In fact, yesterday was the first time I walked around Lindsay's neighbourhood, Bridgelands.
It's been a very chilled out visit to say the least. I've ... Read more >

I've just started my 3rd month working in Niseko, Japan. An ordinary day in Hirafu can as follow:
Wake up in the morning, look out the windon and the first thing you can see is at least 20 cm of fresh snow (the snow report predicted 0 cm). Look at ... Read more >

Outside everything is white. The underneath hasn’t seen the
sky for many months, hibernating beneath a horizontal curtain. I can’t quite
see through my eyes. Time has begun to lose its pace. There is no day or night,
only a tick-tock. I think we have ... Read more >

As I sit here using all my mental strength to resist the
constant urge to scratch, I contemplate the parents of the little girl who gave
me chicken pox. Her parents said to us

Just another month of rubber gloves, skid marks and pubic
hair that is the reality of my working life here in the French Alps (Gross I
know!). But I have to earn my turns on the mountain I guess. It was a month of
a Chalet that was jammed with ... Read more >

After an action packed last post we feel that nothing that interesting
has happened in the last month. For
us the work load has softened a little (down from 70 to 50 hours a week), so we
have been able to get up on the mountain a lot ... Read more >

France which would be our new home and work for the next five months. La Combe

On the train today… all day from Sofia to Bucharest, then onto Brasov. As much as this is a bum-sore, it does give me plenty of time to reflect on my time in Bulgaria and “get that bloody blog done”. For the last five months, I’ve been in this frustrating, ... Read more >

14 hours is a damn long time. It's not quite the same as flying to Australia, but I've never had to do that, so 14 hours is the longest I've ever spent in one little, poxy seat. Flight was uneventful. Food was crap, barely slept, sat next to a frenchman.... Read more >

While on a snowboarding holiday in Canada, I was going down a groomed run when I fell forwards. My legs flipped up behind me and as a result, my snowboard hit me in the back of the head. It split open the back of my head and I had to have four staples ... Read more >

I was on a ski holiday practicing my downhill when a snowboarder collided with me out of nowhere. Both my shins caught the sharp edge of his board and cut me right through two layers of pants! I made my way to first aid, and they immediately sent me ... Read more >

Blip Blip went the GPS and a total of 292kms was laid out in front of us. (That ladies voice has been a godsend but later in CBD Sydney our relationship would turn sour.) Another tank of gas and we were off. Victoria has been surprisingly ... Read more >
