I arrived in Auckland in the 18th Jan and have travelled down the west coast of the South Island with some other fine coachsurfers. I coming back in a few weeks to try and stay out for a while. I am 34 years old and previously worked as a Service Manager in London where I have lived for 5 years. I love to meet new people and experience different cultures and all the things life has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have taken 8 months out for a career break. I have spent 2 months in Chile and Argentina volunteering at a retreat centre/farm and traveling to different areas from the desert to the Patagonian National Parks. I will be in New Zealand for 5 months and am looking to Couchsurf until I can find a base. I want to see as much of this beautiful country as I can.

Indie, alternative,rock and rap music and additionally piano music. I love to read and enjoy a good movie now and again when I can sit still long enough, I'm currently learning to sit still!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taken this chance and left my career in order to reassess and review where I want to be in life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn as much as I can about anything and everything. I can share all my knowledge, passions in life and experiences. In the short time I have been away I have realised how much I love learning and how I have missed it.
