I surf solo and host with my family.

Hosts. I love exploring and having adventures in new places. I enjoy sharing cultures, food and stories.

Surfers. Please understand that I currently live in my childhood home with my parents. Mum and Dad were very appreciative of all the people who helped me while I was overseas so they are keen to pay it forward.
We are quiet and conscientious people so we expect you to be respectful and considerate during your stay. Our home is our sanctuary so after a hard day at work we just like to unwind, share a good meal and have a relaxed evening.
Please don’t be offended if we decline your request or can’t accept you too far in advance. But, too increase your chances of being accepted, please send a personal and detailed request. What are your plans while in the Bay? How can we add to your visit? And, what would you like to share with us?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is about more than just ticking off destinations. It’s about understanding what makes a place special to the people who call it home.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share my Kiwi culture. Explore. Cook together. Walk the dogs. I am trying to learn Te Reo Maori so would be keen to teach a little bit to others.
