About Me

I'm a 28 year old taking a year or so out to try new things explore new places and getting to know new people. I enjoy an adventure and getting outdoors. I am easy going and like to help out where I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is the first time I have tried couch surfing but it seems like a good way to meet new people and to see their home city/town/area. I always enjoy showing people around my home and look forward to hosting when I get back to NZ.
