Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I started:

I started hosting while I lived and worked in Auckland, NZ. Hosting changed my life because it sent me travelling in a different direction. When a CouchSurfer made an offer to me to join him, travelling North to South across New Zealand in his campervan, doing work along the way, I considered his proposal and decided to go. That led to orchards, a person who's become one of the important people in my life, hitch-hiking, a goat farm, sailing, nannying, a radio voice-over, good, fresh seafood and new ways of viewing the world.

I have hosted and surfed.
