Hello from New Zealand! I'm an avid traveller and am looking to be travelling for the next few years. I'm looking to go to South America and Moscow... and everywhere in between!

I'm looking to really integrate myself into the local culture and will be looking to stay a little while in a lot of major cities. Fortunately, I'm able to work remotely in the software industry which allows me to stay travelling for longer. I love to hear about people's lives and share some stories about my own.

I also love kite surfing and wake boarding, or, if a country is a bit colder, snowboarding! I also play a bit of ultimate frisbee - I'll probably arrive wearing one or two pieces of frisbee clothing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing seems to be a great way to meet real, authentic, local people and experience cities differently to just "being a tourist". In some places I'll probably be looking to stay for extended periods of time and I hope that using Couchsurfing could be a way for me to see if my hosts know anyone with spare rooms.

Interests

• movies
• kite surfing
• snowboarding
• ultimate frisbee

Music, Movies, and Books

Music... where do I start. A lot of music appeals to me, so here are my current artists I'm currently listening to: BROCKHAMPTON, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone, Travis Scott. Some of my all time favourites are: Lorde, The Weeknd, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Childish Gambino.

I love everything Nolan or anything with a good story. I'm also partial to a bit of action. There are so many great movies but a couple are: The Dark Knight, American Beauty, The Artist, Shutter Island, Momento, Dunkirk, Inglorious Basterds, Hot Fuzz, Fight Club.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've represented my country in a global hackathon hosted by Google and APEC. We had 48 hours to try help small to medium companies have easier access to the global market through technology. These companies are important to developing countries because they are severely underrepresented in terms of exports. Although we didn't win, it was a great experience and I was able to meet a bunch of influential people.

Teach, Learn, Share

One of my life passions is helping people, and I love to teach people and share knowledge. If you have any software questions I'd be happy to help with these, but I'm also able to help with Maths or Physics, or even learning English!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my adventure stories, along with anything else I have in my suitcase - usually great wine or alcohol, or other food.
