In the past few years I've been traveling a lot to learn and dance Argentine Tango - especially to Buenos Aires Argentina and Wellington New Zealand. I lived in Buenos Aires for 6 months and have come to value life experiences over material things, I sold all my household items etc before I went to Argentina.

Other hobbies I enjoy are Salsa dancing and photography. I'm reliable and responsible.

I was a high school English teacher in Auckland until 2014 , now I am a substitute teacher, mainly in Central, West and South Auckland.

Since October 2018 I've been running my own Garden Clean-up business, which is going very well in Auckland and becoming established in Wellington.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In January I went on a road trip to collect a rental van in Christchurch and I met a wonderful man in Wellington !!

Now I'm living in Auckland @ 2 weeks, Wellington @ 2 weeks .

A my things are stored in West Auckland, so i can get change of clothes etc from there. I'm looking for somewhere to sleep, and friendly people to relax with when not working.

Looking for place or places to stay from Sunday 23 Feb until Sunday 3 March .
In suburbs between Central & Mangere eg Onehunga, Mt Roskill area, or West Auckland .
