ABOUT ME
I'm from New Zealand, living in Melbourne.
I did a world trip in 2010 passing through Argentina, Spain, Germany, UAE, Netherlands, the UK and Japan. It was a fantastic year especially thanks to the amazing people & friends I met along the way, a lot through the couchsurfing community.
Other than that I am fit and active, enjoy having a sing-along playing the guitar, love riding my bicycle, exploring new places and meeting fun people. I have been learning Spanish but find it hard to practice so I love meeting Spanish speakers :) Also, anyone who can quote a line from a Flight of the Conchords song is probably going to get along with me very well :D
PHILOSOPHY
Relax. Share. Laugh. Keep it Simple. Always.

Teach, Learn, Share
Music, language, places, movies, experiences, food, drinks, design, sport, environment, it all comes and goes :)
Any Spanish/English exchanges are great. Music, I play a little keyboard & guitar so love to swap there. I'm not so good in the kitchen but am always up for a lesson or to share a couple of dishes that I know...
Also I'm big into permaculture and self-sufficiency so sharing knowledge in this area is fun and interesting for me.
