Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Throughout my childhood we hosted students from japan for two weeks at a time which i loved!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While i am relatively new to the site i am really keen to stay with hosts while i travel and host people in hamilton or auckland when i return.

Interests

travel, experiencing awesome adventures with great people. I spend a lot of my time play sport and surf life saving at a local beach. I like to go out with friends for a meal and drink. I have recently taken up trail running after staying in the Cerdanya for several months and meeting great runners.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am not much of a movie person, although i love a good romcom. I listed to a lot of top 40 music as i am quite technologically disabled! I love to read a side range of books, recently i have read Andre Agassi's Biographies and into thin air, a story of survival climbing mount everest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed the pole at la tomatina to try get the ham down. I got within a foot of the ham, it was an amazing but scary adventure! I also went white water ràfting with my childhood best friend for my 21st birthday, we went down a 7 metre waterfall.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to sharing my knowledge of new zealand, the walks, beaches and adventure activities there are to do. I would like to learn about diferent countries cooking styles and typical foods.
