I'm originally from New Zealand but spent the last fair few years in France. Now I'm spending a couple of years in Berkeley before figuring out where to jump next.

I've been doing maths and physics for a while now, and continue to enjoy it! Otherwise I'm up for learning and practising spanish. Or going windsurfing or some sport climbing. I guess I read sometimes as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To save on sleeping costs ... and to have a few beers with people that I probably won't get to meet otherwise.

Interests

Depends where I am, NZ was spent playing cricket and hockey. France was spent learning french and playing hockey. Here in the bay area I guess I'll be windsurfing and climbing a bit more often.

Not to knowledgable about this side of the world, so Americans who can share a bit of their culture will always be welcome.

I have a few opinions on theoretical physics as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

L'auberge espagnole, Into the Wild

Catch 22, Call of the Wild, Count of Monte Cristo, Don Juan,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First time driving overseas (France) - opposite side of road, opposite hand for gearstick, and no smartphone for GPS. Accidentally ended up in Spain.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An apartment and two cool flat mates (french and argentinian), a few experiences over a beer or wine and a (reasonably) open mind.
