About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore and experience the world

ABOUT ME

Originally from New Zealand, but the past few years have been spending half my time in Australia as well.
Usually spend 7 months of the year in Exmouth, WA working as a dive instructor. Great place to see whale sharks!
Then when the season winds up, I usually come back to NZ for the summer.
Tend to do a bit of travelling in between.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have met some great people through CSing - as a host, hostee and just meeting up for a drink. Is a great way of meeting like-minded, open people who are up for most anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stared off with a Great White.
Snorkelled with a hammerhead.
Played with more than a dozen mantas.
Swam with humpback whales.
Sat with gorillas in the Congo.
Witnessed a pack of orcas hunt down a humpback whale and her calf, separate the two, and then kill the calf.
