CURRENT MISSION

Increase community, be a part of the kind of world I want to live in

ABOUT ME

Kia ora! I've traveled a lot - to over 70 countries - and have been so lucky to have met welcoming, friendly locals who have made my understanding of the place and whole experience so much richer. So now I hope to give just a little of that back....I love a good mix of getting out there and exploring, active sports,
socialising..but also quite times of writing, reading and smaller chats
with friends.Based in NZ, a lot of my work is focused overseas and I am always fascinated to listen, talk and share different perspectives and thoughts about the planet we inhabit...

PHILOSOPHY

A kind ear and a kind tongue. We can have such a positive influence on the people and planet around us..if we choose to.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm keen to host and get involved in the local community for now..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to couchsurfing but not new to surfing couches and want to be part of this awesome community!

Interests

I love singing, would love the guitar more if I could actually play (stuck with my 4 chord wonder talent at present...). I'm interested in interesting people, places and perspectives. The 3 ps.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A 13 year old boy i met in south sudan who was the head teacher of his school...he had kept a group of kids together in the bush through the war and kept them learning. his only wish was to finish secondary school himself so he could be a better teacher. you meet someone like this and you want to be a better person every day...(he finished secondary school by the way and is now a qualified teacher!!)
