Traveller and nature lover, searching to meet new people, enjoy your beautiful area and have a great time!

My next big project: bikepacking in Japan for 5 months starting April 10th! Planning on going everywhere and visiting anything people will recommend to me.
I will have a bike with me so if your area isn't great at parking a bike, please just let me know.

A bit about me:
I have been living in New Zealand for the last 4 years,
there I really followed my love of being in the mountains (feel free to have a look at my Instagram: @friendlyeddie) and always pushing the body and the mind.
Back in 2021 I achieve a 1500km through hike called the Te Araroa (the long pathway in Maõri) in 45 days. Looking to expand those thru hike experience somewhere else in the world (looking for Switzerland or Iceland next)

Exchange and respect are two important words for me, I am happy to help around the house/flat/treehouse/cave/lawn/garage if needed.

Fan de voyage et de nature, en recherche de rencontrer les locaux, voir votre belle région et passer du bon temps!

J'ai habité 4 ans en Nouvelle Zélande donc je suis ouvert à découvrir d'autres cultures et modes de vie. Mon prochain grand projet: vivre au Japon!

Échange et respect sont deux choses vraiment importante pour moi, je suis toujours heureux d'aider atour de la maison si besoin (petit nettoyage, cuisine...)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My housemate used to host lots of people at our place with Couchsurfing. I really enjoyed meeting new people and find that it is an incredible way to visit a place and being in immersion (that is why I don't visit many countries but i try to stay and live in a country to understand their way of living)

Love the concept of couchsurfing and if I have the opportunity to host again, I will.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailing in an expedition boat on a Albatross conservation mission to the Antipodes islands which are in the sub-antarctic.

Happy to help with chores around the house or cook something.
