CURRENT MISSION

I just finished 1.5 years of living in a truck that I converted to withstand Canadian winters. Now I am sick of the cold and want to travel Central and south America, with the aim to absorb as much culture and life experiences as possible. Maybe learn some Spanish language and more importantly local slang along the way.
I'm just living life, no plan is the best plan!

ABOUT ME

Robert (New Zealand, 35)
Im a normal relaxed Kiwi who's never going to say no to a beer and in deep conversation on the theories on life and all those other important things. I love keeping fit but been finding it very hard to eat rite and exercise regularly while traveling, there is just to much good food to sample in this world I'm finding ;). I love cars, riding motorbikes, electronic music, extreme hiking, beaching and travel.

I'm very interested in meeting people from different cultures and learning how they tick and how their culture works so please host us, we want to learn :)

PHILOSOPHY

I am more scared of growing up and regretting the things i didn't do versus the things i did do.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Latest update :
Now i sold my house van in a Canada and im travelling with my money south to Latin America. Let's see how far I can get with my little savings!

Another Update: I've been living in Germany for 8 years now... kind of... i hooned over to Japan to work a winter season but am now back in Europe and planning new Germany based short term adventures for the next couple years at least.... and this time i am lucky and proud to be planning these adventures with my Girlfriend!

Another Update:
I made it 1.5 years of solid backpacking and now my dream has come to a pause. Im now living in Germany hopefully to save some money and also maybe even pick up a second language. I feel so lazy only speaking one language after meeting so many multi language speakers while travelling.

UPDATE!!!!!
I'm now on my world wide tour and will be looking for hosts willing to donate a couch to lonely old me! i expect nothing but a roof over my head but anything else like a nice conversation or maybe accompanying me to party in town or see a local attraction would make my trip that much better........

I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU!
