I'm a 26 year old guy from New Zealand, currently living in the United Kingdom with my partner, Louise, who is 24.

We are keen to explore as much of the United Kingdom and Europe as possible over the next few years, and are both very friendly and outgoing people with educational and employment backgrounds in radio and media.

I enjoy cooking, am right in to fitness and exercise, and love the outdoors. Louise is lively, very musical, and loves the arts. We're really quite different, but it works!

We both hope to meet some great people on our travels - maybe you will be the next!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet amazing people, of course!

Interests

I have the opposing interests of being outdoors and indoors.

Outdoors for running, Obstacle Course Racing, hiking, swimming, soaking in some sweet, sweet sunshine.

Indoors for watching baseball, reading, partaking in some casual beers, spinning yarns and swapping stories.

I also write a blog; itsaboutbeingbetter.com

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Fat Freddy's Drop, Gary Clark Jr., Kanye West (quite the mix there).

Movies: Favourite would be Interstellar, do love a Bond film tho, and of course Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit.

Books: Born to Run is probably the most influential book I've read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked the Old Ghost Road (85km) in two days back in February.
