ABOUT ME

Kia Ora, my name is Matt. I Love meeting new people, seeing new countries and experiencing new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting when possible and potentially able to show you around Dunedin and maybe free to do some trips around NZ also!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have provided a couch in Copenhagen for a number of people and I have done a small amount of surfing myself around Europe and Morrocco.

Interests

Outdoors - you can't live in Dunedin and not love the outdoors: mountain biking, kayaking, rock climbing, mountaineering, hunting and watching Man vs. Wild.

Travel is a huge passion, I pretty much want to go to country in the world. So far I have travelled through Asia, Oceania, Pacific, Middle East, Africa and Europe.

Love playing, learning, supporting and organising sport.

Dunedin is also known for its drinking, socialising, live music!
