Hey guys I'm Jon, I'm originally from the UK but now live in NZ after some time in Canada also (my accent is all over the place!)

I've been in Aotearoa New Zealand for a nearly 4 years now and love the chance to show off my adopted home.

My main passion is riding bikes so I love to meet new people and share adventures and yarns.

I've just finished riding my bike across the country and have enjoyed the kindness of strangers so would love to pay it forward. If you're in the Christchurch/New Brighton area and need a place to crash, hit me up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have informally hosted heaps of people over the years and more than once have relied on the kindness of strangers. I would love to be able to pay it forward 😊

Interests

I'm very passionate about getting outdoors and spending time in this beautiful country.
I love to share those spaces and adventures with people wherever possible.

• socializing
• hiking
• kayaking
• surfing
• skiing
• biking
• climbing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just finished riding my bike across the country and have enjoyed all of it. Would love to share adventure ideas with like minded folks.

Teach, Learn, Share

If I am hosting people, I'd love to show you the sights of the area. Whether that's going for a surf, a kayak or rock-climbing (been an instructor in those disciplines for 10+ years) there's always something to do.
Equally happy to chill with a fire and beers at the beach 🌞

What I Can Share with Hosts

Plenty of stories, good banter and just the right amount of shit-talk.
Happy to cook together and share a drink or two around the fire.
