Recent arrival to Reading, UK, and trying my best to be excited about a British winter :) I love meeting new people and sharing stories, adventures, and food.

In 2017 I finished a Masters in Peace and Conflict Studies, and cycled around the South Island of New Zealand. My background is in not for profit management, volunteerism, peacebuilding, and programme development.

I get excited about many things, including travel, environmental sustainability, good music, good art, the outdoors, cycling, mountains, a good chinwag, yoga, and delicious coffee. All together sometimes.

I fricking love the outdoors. If I could be in the mountains every weekend hiking, camping and drinking good whiskey, I would be.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people and making new friends, and keen to explore Europe with locals, and share stories, a drink or too, some adventures, culture and company.

Musica, film e libri

I use to play a fair bit of music, these days I tend to listen more. I love well written lyrics, and story telling through music, so I am drawn to folk. I also enjoy blues, jazz, dub, electronic, and actually most music, if there is some substance.

Movies- sometimes :)

Books- yes, many. Recently, I've been reading in the post-colonial genre mainly from India. It gets pretty serious sometimes, and that's when I look at NZ news to find a headline about kittens stuck in trees.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I don't know about amazing, but randomly there was this one time I was on national television in Chile singing Jonny Cash at a public concert. I had no idea at the time, but it scored many cool points with the students in my english classes!

Insegna, impara, condividi

I can teach you some beginner yoga poses, meditation and pranayama if you are interested. I am learning to climb, and keen to share outdoor adventures.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

Beginners yoga lesson, good company (I hope). Happy to do some cooking, or create some classic New Zealand baking. When I am back in New Zealand, happy to return the favour!
