Hello! I'm Matt, 23, from Auckland New Zealand, living in Wellington. My interests include but are not limited to music (all sorts!), guitar, drums, writing music, music production, maths (or math if you like ;)), programming, artificial intelligence research, hiking, photography, mountain biking, philosophy, space exploration (but no, I haven't been there... Yet...), beer (duh), comedy, travelling, coffee, classic sci-fi, running, etc...

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I'm solo traveling Europe at the moment, and would love to make some new friends and get some local tips!
