Hi, I’m Steve, a friendly and open-minded person from Auckland, New Zealand. I’ve lived here for 13 years and absolutely love exploring the outdoors, meeting new people, and sharing stories. I’m a mix of adventurer, dreamer, and someone who values meaningful connections.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to connect with like-minded people who value meaningful exchanges. Couchsurfing isn’t just about finding a place to stay—it’s about creating memories, sharing experiences, and building friendships across the globe.

Interests

I’m passionate about experiencing life to the fullest. Whether it's hiking through scenic trails, attending a mind-blowing concert, or simply sharing a deep conversation with a stranger, I thrive on adventure and connection. My love for music fuels my travels, and my curiosity drives me to discover new perspectives wherever I go.

Music, Movies, and Books

Big fan of rock, especially live performances. Recently attended Thom Yorke’s concert—what a surreal and magical experience!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sunrise from a remote mountaintop during a hike was one of the most breathtaking moments of my life. It reminded me how small we are in this vast world and how beautiful life’s simple pleasures can be.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can share stories about living in New Zealand, tips for traveling here, and even help with some basic Cantonese phrases if you're interested.
Learn: I’d love to learn about different cultures, cuisines, and languages—anything that broadens my worldview!
Share: I enjoy sharing good company, conversations, and even some travel recommendations or hidden gems in Auckland.
