CURRENT MISSION

To travel until I get sick of exploring. This could take a while.

ABOUT ME

I'm a kiwi farm boy at heart. I grew up on roast lamb and kumara (sweet potato), so expect alot of that if I ever cook for you.

I think CS is a great way to get to know the locals and have an authentic cultural experience. My favourite cities are Berlin and Iloilo, because I had awesome hosts.

I'm currently traveling through SE and South Asia meeting up with friends along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

If I can spend the rest of my life seeing the world through the eyes of the people I meet on my travels I will die a very rich man.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted many surfers in Auckland and am now experiencing the world as a CS guest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had a bad experience so far. Every CS member I meet has their own quirks. I love exploring their towns and getting to know them.

Interests

I love intelligent conversation with creative people. I live life with an open mind and an open heart. It takes me to interesting places and I meet interesting people.

I don't travel to see the sights, I travel to experience new cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn about your life. I can share stories about sheep.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I try to bring gifts from whever I have come from, but I travel very light so don't expect much.

I usually cook a New Zealand meal for my hosts. Lots of meat, baked veggies. Cheese sauce. Red wine. Farm food!
