Hi I'm Darren, a relaxed Kiwi guy. I'm working as a mechanical design engineer in Singapore. I enjoy travelling and sharing experiences with new people that I meet along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To have fun!

Interests

I love football, basketball and nearly every other sport created. Getting outside is always a buzz whether it be rock climbing, kayaking or hiking. Other than that I enjoy reading and keeping up with the latest films.
