Couch Information
No couch currently available for surfing. Sorry no couchpresently available as im travelling
Come Surf!
Weve got a primo little flat in The suburb of Riccarton, almsot sorta in thrownig distance to Westfields Riccarton Mall (really depends how far you can throw i guess). Its definately a student flat, 4of us, always good times, but will have to study at times too. Almost all the buses from the city head past us. And it takes maybe 35mins to walk to town. Keen to host whenever and theres every chance we can go for missions. Depends on the time though. The couch itself is a single mattress in the lounge with blankets,welcome to crash on the floor aswell. Will probably have internet available... Friends (10)

Intersted in almost all sports that involve a ball(especially football basketball and volleyball)...but thats not saying that it restricts my interest.
Have some interest in History but more so in culture and human relations.
