About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I am an English guy that is staying in New Zealand. I've been here for about 18 months but looking to settle here long term. Living and working out in the boondocks so looking for people to hang out with :)

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and generally spend time outdoors. Anything in the bush eg. Camping, tramping, fishing etc. From England originally but I'm in love with new zealand. The natural life here is awe inspiring and I don't want to leave. I work as a chef full time and I live at work so unfortunately for now I don't have a couch. Happy to grab a drink or go out for meal though. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really love to meet new people and hang out with fellow travellers.
I dont have a couch at the moment as i am travelling but if you guys feel like camping come ahead

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only surfed twice so far but found it really enjoyable

Interests

I guess my main interest is nature. I love spending time in the forest, wild camping, bushcraft, foraging, hiking etc.
I also love music, sitting around a fire playing guitar with good people is high on my list. I love writing and playing music toooo much.
I really enjoy anything that gives me a sense of freedom so skateboarding, being outdoors or travelling with no plan.
