About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world

ABOUT ME

I am from New Zealand's North Island, and am currently off exploring other corners of the planet to see what I might find there.

PHILOSOPHY

To leave the world in a better condition than I found it. Still working out the details.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking to find out what CS is all about and how I can participate.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Looking to have my first CS experience soon!

Interests

Reading, traveling and gardening are how I spend much of my time. I'm interested in learning more about sub-Saharan Africa, North India, and East and South-East Asia. I am also interested in learning more about philosophy, science and how to build a better society. I hope to visit each continent at least once, on my fourth at the moment.

As for movies 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' 'Up' and 'Momento' are some favorites. And for music, I do love Florence and the Machine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling the vast Mongolian steppe, teaching amazing young Korean students and exploring ancient Ankor.
