CURRENT MISSION

Spending a summer in Scandinavia to see as much as possible!

ABOUT ME

I'm a New Zealander who loves to explore new places and meet people around the world. I'm in Sweden at the moment living on an island and working with a friend organising sea kayaking adventures for people here. This summer I'd like to see as much as I can in Europe before moving to Australia- it's been awesome so far!

PHILOSOPHY

Keep learning, growing, and experiencing new things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to travel and help others experience new places too. Last month I did a road trip in Norway and put up a note at the hostel offering the spare seat in my car- ended up spending 5 days travelling the countryside and doing some amazing hikes with a cool girl from Finland. Adventures are always more fun with other people :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First time couchsurfer, although I have stayed on the couches of friends in various countries over the years...

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into a wide range of music, especially live gigs and going to festivals. I don't read much or watch tv / movies- more inclined to get out and about and do stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed to Trolltunga in Norway- the view from the cliff is spectacular!

Teach, Learn, Share

I've got years of experience of travelling and love helping others. My technical background is Geographic Information Systems (GIS) but my real talent is in being able to come up with ideas to help solve problems.
