Working on a ski field you make friends from all around the world. When my Europe trip took me towards the Czech Republic I met up with my good friend Jana in Prague. First we did a road trip down to Charmonix, France, and Verbier, Switzerland before going back to Jana’s home in Ostrava in east Czech where I got to spend my first winter Christmas with her family.
Prague and Budapest are the 2 most beautiful cities that I visited in Europe. We walked around in the evening and the reflections in the water were amazing!

A VERY narrow walkway indeed!

The inappropriate snow man!
We stayed with our friend Chloe for a week and it snowed for the first 4 days without stopping. Eventually it cleared up and we went skiing in 1m of fresh snow. It was like nothing I’ve skied in at home in New Zealand and it takes a bit of getting used to! But so worth it!

Hi I’m Chris,
I grew up super isolated 2 long days hike from the nearest road in the wilds of South Westland, New Zealand at a place called Gorge River. We live off the land and try to be as sustainable as possible in a really unique and wild part of the world.
After leaving home I have set out to explore the world. I have been on the road since 2011 and have worked and travelled in so many incredible places including working with husky dogs in Arctic Norway and teaching extreme survival skills at -40°C in Antarctica.
Along the way I make videos for my YouTube channel. This way you can join my adventures not just around the globe but also back at home at Gorge River.
