About Me

I am a 24 year old male currently travelling though Europe. I am a big fan of the the outdoors (hiking, biking & swimming), I play guitar and sing and I am also a keen sportsman. When I'm not doing the above I enjoy learning about physics and the natural world but also know how to relax

I live in Wellington NZ but am currently living and working in the Netherlands.

I have done a fair bit of travel in my time, including backpacking and work trips and while I have had friends I met abroad come & stay I am new to couch-surfing,

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just enjoy meeting open minded people, sharing a drink sharing a story or an experience and making friends. Travelling alone I like the experience of meeting people and sharing moments to make new friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2015 I climbed Mt, Ngaruhoe (Mt Doom from Lord of the Rings) in a blizzard as night was falling, then as I descended the cloud and snow cleared and the summit came into view lit by the last of the sunset, that was pretty spectacular.

Teach, Learn, Share

While I am young and have a lot to learn, I also have a lot to teach and share, you will have to meet me to find out more.

What I Can Share with Hosts
