About Me

A travelling programmer / musician with a colorful past and an open mind. I love to get to know new people, have a laugh and play some tunes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started hosting on CS after I completed a 10 day sit at the Dhamma Medini Vipassana meditation retreat at home in New Zealand. The retreat was made up of mostly European travelers one of whom I hosted for a few weeks after the retreat at my place in Auckland. It was a really cool experience to show my city to someone new and speak deeply about our world and life with someone from the other side of the planet. It inspired me to start hosting and eventually to come to Europe 2 days after graduating university in July 2016 - its been years now and I'm still traveling around getting to see more of our amazing planet and all the beautiful people that inhabit it.

Interests

All kinds of music, (all kinds of beer), guitar bass and drums, classic cars and motorbikes, primitive technology and retro video games, religion / philosophy, most normal human things like movies and books.
