CURRENT MISSION

We are living in Paris for a year from September 2013 - time to learn French, try some different jobs and travel in Europe!

ABOUT ME

We are easy-going, open minded and generally eager to make the most of our travelling experience. We are grateful for any local (or other) input into our plans. We love to meet new people and enjoy chats about life and learnings, sport, politics, or anything else that arises.

PHILOSOPHY

Still developing.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've been lucky enough to stay with hosts one or two times, but we are keen to meet people in Paris and hopefully practice (and improve!) our French.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We are fairly new to couch surfing but have had one great experience and have heard plenty of wonderful stories from our family and friends - we are looking forward to becoming part of the community and hopefully hosting ourselves one day (once we are settled).

兴趣

We are willing to try most things once, but generally enjoy typical kiwi activities - hiking, exploring and enjoying a cold beer at the end of the day.

音乐、电影和书籍

As a taster, Shaun is currently reading 'The Beach' (Alex Garland), Anna is reading 'Midnight's Children' (Salman Rushdie). Our music taste is varied (from the Shins, Fleet Foxes, to the Weakerthans and the Ataris). We also love reading and watching anything about economics, society and politics.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

We have both done quite a bit of travel before - it's fair to say most things are pretty amazing. Home is pretty good too.

教，学，和分享

While we're in Paris, one of our priorities is to learn about French language and culture. We're happy to share our English language and other skills (including our love of general conversation).
