ABOUT ME

I have spent the last four years doing a building apprenticeship in New Zealand, with no real idea of what to do next. After considering weather to stay and live a normal life of buying a house, fixing it up, working everyday etc, or try to do something more memorable and exciting I decided to start traveling. I am lucky to have a like minded and equally passionate friend to share in my up coming adventures.

I really love music and I feel like every time I discover amazing song or album, another piece of the jigsaw of my life is put in place. I really enjoy finding new music and also sharing new music with people.

I also love to go outdoors and make the most of the coast around New Zealand by running, hunting, fishing, kayaking, surfing, swimming and taking in the scenery. Going to the beach with friends is one of my favourite things to do too.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing and being surfed...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have had a couple of wonderful German girls stay for 3 nights. They were really interesting and I look forward to more fun times with other travelers. We have also had 2 lots of other Couch surfers who were really nice, but I didn't get to spend much time with them due to work

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy fishing and taking people who have limited experience and showing them how to catch something.
I love taking people surfing and seeing the rush that they get when standing up on a wave for the first time.
And I can build, so that can be handy too
