Personally, I'm a bit of a workaholic so it's nice to take a break to meet and chat to new people.

Like most people, enjoy summer, the beach and lakes. Like listening to stories and other peoples experiences.

Pretty easy going and laid back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Our house has been a couch surfing hotspot for years, and I'm taking over from our housemate James who is going to Brasil for the foreseeable future (he was the second most-rated host in Tauranga).

Very popular spot and have met a great number of people over the years.

Interests

Going away camping for 1 or 2 nights in the summer, swimming in lakes/rivers and the beach. Love being out in the sun when I'm not working. Enjoy action sports like paintball & airsoft. Board games, card games, occasionally computer games (don't have much time for those these days).

• films
• food
• tv shows
• internet
• airsoft

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty varied taste in music, but rock and metal are my go-to favourites. A lot depends on mood.

Watch pretty much most films and a wide range of TV shows, with the exception of reality TV (film and tv is escapism).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped off the Auckland Sky Tower

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great location, 15 min walk to Tauranga City Center and 10-15mins from Mount Maunganui by car.

Nice comfy couch(s).

Suitable for single or pairs of couch surfers who need a place to stay!
