I grew up in nelson and feel very lucky for that. Beautiful sunny days, beaches and outdoor open spaces.

We (Jana and I) now live back in nelson which i love. Jana works the odd weekend and I work weekdays. We live out of town in wakefield and are often out in dovedale working on the housebus.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We live with my crazy but well meaning Mum. We often have a spare room and might as well use it to meet some interesting new people.

We would like couchsurfers who are easygoing, respectful and can contribute.

We would like to meet new people and have a good time.

I like the genuine, open and friendly nature of it, this profile is new but as a student our flat took many couch surfers for differing lengths of time..

Interests

Being happy, life is too short.

Philosophy, history, biology, physics, psychology, society (the list is vast) learning new things, experiencing new things and finding out what makes other people's world spin

I'm environmentally minded and love to discover nature and do my best to minimize my impact on it.

I'm a generalizer and like to know a bit of everything

• birds
• outdoor activities
• biology
• history
• physics
• psychology
• beaches

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a large array of music genres though i dont listen to the radio and despise almost all music i see on tv. I prefer documentaries (david attenborough) to be honest and tend towards movies for a good laugh, my favorite TV show is Qi although I live with no tv. I love Dr Suess and The Sneetches :-) and although it's been a long time Harry Potter always resonates.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm most proud of helping to set up a nation wide paid work training experience for the youth that I've worked with as a support worker in New Zealand.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything and everything. These are possibly my 3 favorite things :-)

I frequently refer to myself as knowing very little but others tend to disagree. There is just too much out there for anyone to know it all and I like the wonder of that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to share what I know but I'm a generalizer so that's hard to sum up. I feel comfortable when I feel like things are fair so I don't expect much and will treat people as they treat me, or I will leave. I like to be open and honest and am always up for having a good time..
