Oh hey, I'm Ed!

I'm from Christchurch, New Zealand.
In 2015 I had the privilege of traveling for 6 months through North and Central America. Time of my life. I was super fortunate to be hosted by some very generous hosts, so now I'm looking to pay it forward in my home country.

I can show you the best bars/cafes as well as tell you which touristy things to/not to do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To feel like I'm traveling when I'm not.

Interests

Ed: Philosophical discussions about light hearted topics- religion, economics and politics. Humour. They say the key to humour is self deprecation, however I'm pretty rubbish at it. Favorite comedians include Bill Bailey, Eddie Izzard, Trevor Noah, Michael Mcintyre and Louis CK. I used to sell solar power for living, so I'm into renewable technology. I like innovative business ideas, mental health / psychology and cooking also.
just generally good chats.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ed:

Movies: Pulp Fiction, Harry Potter series, LOTR, Fight Club, Lock Stock and two smoking barrels (Guy Richie films in general), Django,
TV: Game of Thrones, Better Call Saul, New Girl, Breaking Bad, Community, Pride and Prejudice (BBC), The list really does go on...
Books: CS Lewis, Rob Bell, Richard Rohr, Peter Rollins.
