ABOUT ME

We are a gay couple (but not straight phobic) living in Hamilton. Our house backs to a gully and we have been working hard to reforst it. It is a beautiful bush now.

Doug is from Brazil and been here since 2005, Paul is a kiwi. We live pretty busy lives, working and enjoying time with friends. Really open minded and enjoy travelling once or twice a year.

We only speak English at home, although Doug is Brazilian he hardly ever speaks Portuguese. Don't worry if your English isn't good, you're in NZ you can practice, we have a lot of patience.

We are keen to maybe host, maybe show you around a bit if we get time, or just to hang out.

We have a girl dog called Mylie and she is a cuddle monster. If you touch her once she will beg you for more and more cuddle. She is a cocker spaniel. Also our cat Punzie is always around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By hosting at the moment

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although we haven't hosted as many people as we would have liked to (due to personal reasons - moving house, redecorating, selling house and due to our busy lives), we have hosted people and really enjoyed it.

Interests

Travelling, theatre, comedy, going out, staying in, eating out, doing anything!!

Teach, Learn, Share

We can share our knowledge about New Zealand, Brazil or other places we have visited. Can teach some English, Portuguese or Spanish. But mainly the Kiwi way of life, since you are in New Zealand.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We have two spare bedrooms with two single beds and one with a queen size bed. Our guests can use anything in the house including our spa.
