About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have an awesome NZ summer!

ABOUT ME

I'm studying towards a PhD in Christchurch.

Before starting I spent 5 months traveling around South East Asia and had heaps of fun meeting other travelers and surfing peoples couches so need to repay all the favours!

Since then I've hosted people at my flat. Cant wait to go travelling again though!

PHILOSOPHY

Relax. Chill. Have fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveled through Indonesia and SE Asia. Recently got back home and I have started hosting for the first time! My references show what we can get up to while you are here!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Its real cool to meet people from all over the world and show them the best, and often hidden to travelers, parts of the city!

Surfed peoples couches in Asia.

Interests

I play football and tennis as well as tramping, surfing and snowboarding.
I listen to a whole bunch of music, but enjoy chilled out music.

Love being outdoors! Especially in summer, in the mountains or by the ocean!
