I am a winemaker from New Zealand and I live in Cygnet with my girlfriend Catalina, a winemaker from Chile. For the past few years we have been travelling and working in wineries around the world. This year we have moved to Tasmania to spend a bit of time here. During our travels we used couchsurfing extensively as surfers, and now we are happy to have the opportunity to give back to the community by opening our doors to fellow travellers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
