About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Sharing Wellington and NZ with the world!🏳️‍🌈 🇪🇸 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇮🇳 🇮🇹 🇺🇸

ABOUT ME

Hello - I'm Will, I'm a seasoned Couchsurfing host from Central Otago who now lives in the city of Wellington. I work weekdays in a role that I adore and I have a 2 bedroom apartment in central Wellington. I love the arts, cafe and restaurant life that Wellington offers and I look forward to hosting some interesting people this year for 1 or 2 nights. It should go without saying, but, I welcome any nationality, religion, sexuality, gender.

I often have friends visiting so if that's the case then surfers get the sofa or spare mattress on the floor and the guest gets the spare room - otherwise the room is yours. I'm in a role that means I have to travel so I like not to plan too far ahead and ideally only a couple of nights stay.

PHILOSOPHY

Ships in the harbour are safe but that's not what ships are for.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved from Cumbria, UK to the magical islands of New Zealand in 2003. After a wine or two I might share some stories. However, in 2014 I had a five month trip to Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Japan and the UK.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always keen to know how to cook new things from your part of the world. Just bought a ukelele to irritate my friends with.
