CURRENT MISSION

Live in the now and see as much of this metropolis as possible in the time I have here.

ABOUT ME

Im someone who enjoys the journey as much as the destination. My favourite places are India for the experience, Brazil for the people, (the caipirinhas, the dancing and the beaches) and Italy for the beauty (and oh! the pizza).
I finished university and was working in a bar when I thought this is not how I want to spend my twenties so I left NZ. That was 6 years ago. The list only ever gets longer.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not very philosophical - is that even how it is spelt? I like hearing about what other people have to say on the topic but I don't analyse my own life decisions that much. Shit, maybe I haven't really ever made any?! I'm just living day to dy and one day I'm going to wake up and ask 'Why?'Oh well, until then...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The places I have visited and have the fondest memories are due to experiences I had meeting people there. Whatever else one might gain from travelling, tolerance will be the most valuable, not just to oneself but to the world. And on a less profound note I love languages, learning, local food and beverages and want to share these things with fellow travellers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed 2 days in Zagbreb with Tomislav.
Surfed 4 days in Novi Sad with Christian and Maria, co couching with Stef, Amy, Elizabeth, Garden Ninja, Aaron, the Greeks. Wild times. It was over Exit music festival.
Surfed 4 days with Gerald in Reims
Surfed 5 days with Stephanie in Narbonne.
Glen and his flatmates took me in when I arrived homeless in NYC. Thanks guys.
