I am a 27-year-old New Zealander who is traveling the world with my partner Anna. We are both Doctors in New Zealand and have been working in the Emergency Department for the past year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are travelling through Asia and Europe over 8 months and want to get to know local people, make friends, and get more of an authentic experience in the places we are visiting. We realise the best memories made while travelling are when you meet fun and interesting people.

We only found out about CS while travelling in India so that's why we haven't hosted anyone yet. We do intend on hosting once we're back in NZ.
