I am an illustrator/artist living in the Marlborough Sounds of NZ. I have two children aged 18 and 16. We love travelling and meeting people from different cultures. We offer accommodation either on the couch or a sleepout/caravan that can sleep 2-3. Sometimes we have spare bedrooms for the guests to use.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to offer an opportunity for travellers to come and stay at my place to experience the Marlborough Sounds. I run "Art &Adventure" down to earth accommodation here. I would like to invite couch surfers to stay if they would like to help a little bit with cleaning and painting chores. Currently I'm doing up the house, painting, cleaning, decorating themed rooms for summer visitors. If you would like to come and pitch in I will in return provide food, accommodation and free use of kayaks and mountain bikes.

Interests

Art, kayaking, mountain biking, skiing, hiking, but also urban environments. Traveling inspires me to create new art work.
