I’m a kiwi from New Zealand, travelling Asia since May 2024! I’ve been to Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, China, India, Nepal and Central Asia so far on this trip. I’m now exploring China again! After this I’m hoping to also see Vietnam before I head back home.

In New Zealand I work as an investment adviser, helping people manage money. I absolutely love talking investment with people, and teaching people about managing their money. I also like to do martial arts like boxing and jiu jitsu, and hike around in the New Zealand forest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’d love to connect with people who have local knowledge, and learn what it is like to actually live here.

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly listen to music while working out or just relaxing, so either drum and bass while at the gym, or house music when relaxing. Love sci fi and horror movies (not gory stuff though).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gained my PADI scuba diving license in Malaysia. I turned up just thinking I’d see what it was like, and fell in love immediately.
