Hi, I'm Matt, a jolly and gregarious chap from the UK. I've lived in NZ (Queenstown) for the last eight years and I've just started travelling again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently on a mission to get to the UK overland on my very small but friendly motorbike, Jessica. It's a long trip and hotels don't always afford the opportunity to meet lots of people. Whilst I'm travelling on a motorbike I'm not really what you'd call a biker, it's more a way of getting around than a way of life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I do like lots of different music, but I'm not one of those who says "oh I just like everything". I do have my favourites: Queen, Muse, Crowded House to name a few.

Love a bit of 1812 Overture every now and again too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Set off on a trip round the world on a motorbike. Managed to save money in Queenstown too :)

Recipes for Yorkshire puddings, tales from the road, and some really wonderful/awful jokes.
