Taupō born and bred, love being near the lake and everything it has to offer. I work full-time locally and am a proud father of a 3 year old girl who I have with me half the time. Love the gym, being active, outdoors and socialising and meeting new people especially from around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I loved my experiences years ago in Europe and the UK- meeting and getting to know awesome people on a low budget and would be like to offer the same for travellers wanting a comfortable space and share personal experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Huge variety of music tastes, Country music being my favourite at the moment. Enjoy action and comedy movies. Love a variety of books, especially those related to self-development.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled the UK and Europe solo on a very low budget when young, giving me experiences I’ll never forget

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m an average guitar player but love to learn from others. Hands on and enjoy giving anything new a go!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m happy to open up my home to friendly visitors where myself and my dog (a lovely and affectionate Border Collie) live.
I have a couple of spare beds and a couch bed if needed with a separate bathroom and feel free to wash any clothes.
I love hosting and entertaining guests, not a great cook though but always willing to learn.
I live in walking distance to Taupo CBD and have a lot of local knowledge for anyone who needs it!

My daughter is with me half the time, during these periods I am likely unable to share my home sorry!
