Anglotroid kiwi bon vivant. Love meeting new people, hosting people and showing them around my city. Mostly I travel by bike. I love authenticity in all its forms.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Warmshowers.org is awesome but a pain in the ass to use. Love meeting new people, especially as I get older. If you don't make new younger friends you end up isolated, bitter and alone. Come and tell me something I don't know!
