CURRENT MISSION

live a good life, discovering New Zealand

ABOUT ME

open-minded, respectful, positive, much into all kinds of music (except the boom-boom noise), fan of soccer and cycling (to watch it), Burgundian lifestyle. I'm not the dancing type but like to have conservations with people when going out.

PHILOSOPHY

If you are full of fire, you don't ever feel cold

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My wife Nicolette (44) and I (65) want to meet people and share experiences about life, happiness, good and sad things, hopes and dreams. Despite our age, we want to meet young people and share your dreams, hopes and wishes. Maybe in telling our life stories, we can share our experiences with you as well. Not as a teacher with a pointed finger but in a friendly way to learn from each other and to celebrate our lives. And in our home humour is never far away, we like to laugh and celebrate the relativity of life. We want you to feel at home and be yourself at our place and guide you around Palmerston North and hope to learn from your cooking and storytelling skills.

the story of life

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

We have a cute little house in a quiet quarter of Palmerston North on walking distance from the CBD with the shops and The Square and to the Manawatu River Esplanade and the river pathway. In our living room, we have a sleeping couch. Or you can park your van on the driveway or put up your tent in the garden. If you stay with us we like to share the stories of our lives and our talents. Can you teach us how to cook a fine meal for us all? If we go out for breakfast or lunch (or a beer/wine) we would like to share the costs.
