ABOUT ME

23, New Zealander, I was splitting my time between working in book publishing and video production before I left to go travelling. I've spent the last six months working my way across South America (with a stop in Alaska) and am now looking to stay and work in the UK for a while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm still on the road at the moment, but I'll be hosting surfers as soon as I'm set up in the UK!

Interests

I've worked on a few short comedy films as a writer/director and I'm looking to find more opportunities in scriptwriting especially. I'm working on script revisions at the moment for a comedy feature film - very time-consuming!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Difficult - how about "Colombia". The most welcoming people, the endless varieties of fruit (best consumed on a Caribbean beach), and the incredible diversity - from the valleys and the coffee plantations in the south, to the sweltering jungles in the north, and everything in between.
