Hi, I'm Beyond (yes, that's my real name :D) from New Zealand. A Kiwi-Asian. An aspiring filmmaker. I'm a friendly, honest, respectful, easy-going guy with a lot of passion for the creative arts and an optimistic outlook on life. I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently on a 10 month across the globe trip.
Starting with India and ending in North America. I would love to experience the authentic culture of each place I visit, and I can't imagine a better way than to be invited into a local person's home and see the way they live. And if I can form new friendships along the way, that would be amazing.
