About Me

Hi,
I am currently on an amazing trip around the world! After spending 3 years working as a Civil Engineer in New Zealand, i quit my job to pursue my main passion - surfing. In April 2017 I packed my bags and left New Zealand on a one way ticket. I have spent:
- 2 months in Indonesia
- 1 month in Mexico
- 2 weeks in NYC
- 5 months in France, Spain and Portugal
My main passion is surfing and the majority of my trip so far has been focused around the ocean. However, I also thoroughly enjoy traveling to new places and meeting people from all four corners of the globe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy meeting locals and understanding the culture of a country. I think Couchsurfing is a great way to do this and also return the favour.
