Couch Information


Couch picture

Couch Available: Coffee or a drink
Preferred Gender: Any

Moved back into Tekapo for a summer job. (Is it still summer) If you are travelling through.... WE MUST MEET UP!
I work nights.

This picture is of a Dunedin tradition of burning couches. Don't worry, I look after my couch! But I do like fire!
The future is an interesting place to live in, maybe we will exchange a glance there together.

Personal Description

I dont like to stick to just one thing, but at the same time when I crave something I put all of my energy into it.

Travelling is an example of it.

I have studied but I learn from experience.

Travelling is an example of this.

I am stoutly independent, but the friends I have and the friends I meet make me into the person I am...
Happy

I am doing exactly what I want to do, and I am free

ps) ''Method of Revolution''
is the name of my last novel that I wrote.

Interests

Philosophy

The meaning of life is to...

My favourite book is an Atlas, my favourite movies are Fight club, Butterfly effect, Donnie Darko and I like
Punk, Rock, Alternative...
Rise Against, Wizo, Tool, Melincolin, Strung out, Evanescence, Seether, Refused and Incubus.

Types of People I enjoy

I like people's imagination. i admire creative people.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning that everyone is all the same... completely unique!

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Full moon party on a beach in a cave with some of my best friends, sitting around a camp fire, with fire dancers and drummers and the best of times. (Back home in Dunedin, New Zealand)
Secondly, Copland Hotpools in the mountains in sublime warmth compared with ice and snow all around us.

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

Kris is awesome, great fun to be around. So many times we had great little random road trips and adventures. Extremely happy days. Filled with a sense of fun and adventure that will see him still burying treasure and swinging fire sticks well into his eighties Im sure.

Kris is one kewl dude - always a smile on his face, a positive and friendly attitude and many a story to tell of his escapades. He was an instant hit with the other Couchsurfers that we met and sharing his vast knowledge and great spirit. A champion!

Kris is a nice guy and i feel sorry I couldn't share with him some more days due to my routine tiredness and lack of free time. He is interesting person to know and he has amazing pics of his South American trip. Just ask him for that:))
