My name is Josh and I am a kiwi (New Zealander!). I am a full time medical student and I usually go backpacking for a month each year in November. I enjoy surfing, outdoor activities and socialising!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am travelling to Central America in October/November/December this year and would like to learn some Spanish to help with my travels. I would also love to meet some locals, and get an idea of where is best to eat (ans surf!)

Interests

I especially love surfing and for my last trip overseas, I surfed in Indonesia for 4 weeks! I also pretty much enjoy any outdoor activity, especially if it involves the water!

• cooking
• socializing
• surfing
• skiing
• swimming
• spearfishing
• surf lifesaving
