CURRENT MISSION

The mission is Europe

ABOUT ME

I've spent most of this year touring in a band called Lawrence Arabia. We've been back and forth between New Zealand, UK, Europe and the US lots, but I've finally found some time to travel on my own clock. My girlfriend Mimsy is along for the journey too, which is exciting as it's the first time she's been overseas. I've been to many of the places we're travelling to, but often just for one night to play a show. I'm really looking forward to exploring cities in more depth and meeting great people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm pretty new to CS, but Mimsy and I are keen on opening our couch when we return to NZ. So far on our travels we've been shown amazing hospitality, and we're really excited about being able to return the favour. We love our country and have been telling everyone we meet that they should come and visit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As touring musicians, we're definitely not rich, so we try to stay with as many people as possible. It's also way more fun and interesting when you can meet local people outside of a bar or venue, and get insider knowledge on great places to explore. I've stayed on lots of couches!
