I love being outside in the wilderness, hiking and camping, but I also like relaxing in a city cafe with good food and drink.

I'm a pretty easy going and positive person, and am usually happiest when travelling and experiencing new sights, sounds and flavours.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling, meeting and making friends with new people from different countries and with different experiences. I prefer to travel deep, and genuinely engage with different cultures and people, so love meeting locals, learning about their lives and (attempting!) to learn their language.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll confess that I've seen the Lord of the Rings film trilogy more times than is strictly appropriate. And yes, I mean the extended editions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

From October 2016 to March 2017 I walked 3,000km across the length of New Zealand on my own. It was an amazing experience, and I was overwhelmed with the incredible natural beauty of the country and the many absolutely wonderful people I met.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to share stories of my travels with you, and hear yours in return. I also love to occasionally get into the kitchen and cook healthy and tasty food (which I can't always get when travelling!).
