CURRENT MISSION

To meet locals wherever I am

ABOUT ME

Very recently got engaged!
Traveled to NZ in the second half of 2008 via Pakistan, Dubai, Thailand and Tasmania. Have been living in Invercargill for six months and just finished acting/singing/dancing in My Fair Lady. Now I'm about to leave to travel to Honduras to become a scuba diving instructor for a while.

PHILOSOPHY

The worst thing you can do is get stressed! The best thing you can do is laugh :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I have only recently joined I am unsure yet how I will be able to participate, but having hosted people through Hospitalityclub.org I am very to keen to host people via this portal too (once I actually settle down somewhere again!)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only hosted through Hospitality Club so far, but I have met some interesting characters. The first people I hosted were Americans called Ed Piston & Robbie Slaughter!

Visited Pakora Village in Northern Pakistan (not to be confused with pakora, the food, they are pronounced entirely differently, apparently!) - perhaps the friendliest people I have ever experienced.
