Coming from New Zealand, I have taken advantage of the hiking tracks, climbing and beaches, and am looking to do the same in other countries. Rock climbing and kayaking takes up much of my spare time.

Making my way through Europe as part of my gap year (or two) before university. It would be great to find a cool host to learn about the area from and of course a couch to crash at the end of a day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that its a natural way to travel and share the world. To share my couch to travellers (if I ever get one...), and make connections with people away from home. And if I can find a travel buddy for some of my trip, that would be awesome.
