About Me

Currently saving to travel my beautiful home country of New Zealand with my girlfriend.

I made the decision to move to Europe for two years in 2013. I started to travel solo without any idea what I was doing and from that moment on, it changed my life. My life now, at least for the meanwhile, is all about chasing that travel bug! I'm an addict now, brah.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined couch surfing from the recommendation of a friend. Without it, I may never have got out of Europe alive...

I was grateful for all the new friends I had made and all the sticky situations I had avoided because of the kindness of strangers. So now, I want to pay that back and continue making rad new friends from around the world!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music. I love music. I would struggle to tell you the last day I went without it. I listen to many different genres so I won't bore you with name dropping. Something that makes me feel or think. Lyrics.

I'm reading a lot more these days and loving it. My favourite book is 'What is the What' but I'm slowly finding out that it is a struggle to find something that doesn't entertain me. I am currently reading "Fool on the hill" as recommended by my girlfriend.

Movies are much the same... I like most things I watch. The amount I like them is all that changes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo travel Europe on a budget tighter than the pair of jeans I'm wearing now...

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn. I'm trying to learn German now. I'm cooking more than ever when money and situation permits.

I can teach you like 10 Maori words (NZ native language).... Otherwise, we are likely to have deep conversations and learn numerous things or just laugh the night away.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share each others company. I like to think I'm a likeable guy and easy to get on with. If I can share anything with you, I will :) I'm sure after meeting, we will share an amazing memory and hopefully a new friendship.
