CURRENT MISSION

My long term goal is to open a taqueria in New Zealand. Right now I'm travelling around Mexico to eat as many tacos as possible. I'm also interested in trying regional specialities and Mexican home cooking.

ABOUT ME

I'm a kiwi chef. I love to to eat and cook and talk about food more than any thing else. I'm looking for hosts that share this interest - someone I can share a meal with. I'm always keen to go and grab a bite to eat at your favourite taqueria but I also like to cook for hosts if I have time.

I also enjoy beer, live music and dancing.

PHILOSOPHY

Generosity, Hospitality, Reciprocity!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love couchsurfing. Meeting locals and sharing experience is what travel is all about.

I couchsurfed my way through Mexico in 2016 and stayed with some amazing hosts. I'm back in 2017 for more!
