Easy going, low maintenance and try to avoid drama. I like to ride bikes, hike and swim.

Please don't send me generic requests.

I'm particularly fond of hosting TA hikers and bikepackers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's nice to help people out for the sake of helping them. Hosting people adds some spontaneity to life.

I enjoy hearing about peoples lives back home, what I might enjoy in their home countries, and their stories while travelling around New Zealand

Interests

I'm interested in nature and the physical world and I work as an ocean scientist. In my spare time I like to go biking, hiking and activities that get me outdoors. I also like going to raves and gigs in the area I live in.

Music, Movies, and Books

All types of music but listen to a lot of electro, country music, and rap. Movies are hit or miss with me. I like to read but struggle these days with my attention span.

Laughs, stories, travel advice, friendship.

I'm always happy to contribute food/beer/manual labour
