I am a 29 year old kiwi (New Zealander) who has taken some time off my career in community and youth development for government so that I can travel!

I have just come off the back of some travel with my partner, Mina and a good friend Ilshat through Germany, Poland, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal. I've used couch surfing before but they were the ones to organise it and so have the feedback!

I love to talk about kiwi culture, travel, politics, music and much more. Ask and I'll sing a song just for you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a participant of the Ship for World Youth (SWY) programme I have built a fantastic international network. While travelling I have been fortunate to stay with many fellow ex-participants of the SWY programme - couch surfing within our own existing networks.

I've also been doing some volunteering and visiting other colleagues that I have come into contact with over my career.

However, I want those networks to continue to grow and there are still some countries that we haven't got friends in!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, games, philosophy... Anything! I sharing food, ideas and good company and I love to sing. I love playing hackey-sack although I am fairly average at it!
