About Me

Ski bum living the dream every day. Currently living in Methven, NZ working the season at Mt Hutt.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Trying to plan a last-minute-ish trip to Wanaka for 5 days with a ski buddy. He's there for a course and I'm tagging along to explore Wanaka. As a ski bum, I'm not exactly cash-rich at the moment, and so I'd love to save a buck or two and meet some chill locals as well :)

Interests

Skiing of course, music, games of all sorts, good food, good conversation.

  • music festivals

Music, Movies, and Books

Ween will be my #1 for all time. Pretty much everything can be great if done well. Even bro country. Currently on a pretty deep Steely Dan kick.

Favorite author is Neil Stephenson.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

From the age of 14 to 28 I worked as a traveling vendor at music festivals. Taken as a whole, it was a long, amazing thing... I just wish I could remember more of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll teach you to ski, I'd love to learn how to surf, and we can share a beer/coffee/tea and worldviews.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Respect, good conversation, and genuine goodwill towards my fellow humans.
