I'm a very well travelled Kiwi guy. I love meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. I spent years working in IT for the travel opportunities it provided (eg to live in 4 countries in Europe), but more recently have bought into an invention business for making physically connections in sporting goods (paddles, bats, golf clubs etc).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's been recommended to me. It seems it's a great alternative to hostels which I am used to staying in, more peaceful and better for meeting the locals
