CURRENT MISSION
I am cycling across New Zealand with my girlfriend! Headed from south to north. We are planning on renting most of the way but would love a warm shower and a proper kitchen to cook a meal in from time to time.

ABOUT ME

I am very active love hiking biking and skiing. I am from a Montana in the states and my girlfriend is half Aussie half kiwi. We travel heaps and love a good laugh and conversation. We love to cook so if we do get the pleasure of staying with you we would love to cook for you. We are very healthy couple but enjoy a good beer as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sailed around the world a few springs ago and during that time stopped in Ghana and rode my bike across the country to give it to an orphanage.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have done extensive travel around the world and with that have been exposed to numerous of the worlds last indigenous cultures. During my time with these communities I have learned about the current crisis facing many people around world and have been working to bridge the gap between modernize and maintaining tradition through sustainable housing and stove projects. I am more than willing to share my knowledge on this topic but even more willing to learn about how people in my country live and view the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share funny stories and I can teach Japanese and French.
