About Me

Hi Everybody,

I am from the small country miles away of New Zealand and have recently decided to get out and see the world while I am young! I have so far been to a few places in the US, and am living in Vancouver so have seen some local places in British Columbia. I am about to embark on a journey of seeing a few more of the gems that this country has to offer and am heading to Europe in September. I have had a work visa but it will expire in June, so I am trying to figure out how best to afford to see as much as I can and have found this site and am looking into trusted house sitters and workaway type of things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As discussed, I really want to experience what the world has to offer and I love meeting new people and gaining new experiences and teaching things that I am passionate about. I am hoping that this site will allow me the chance to see more cities and meet more locals so that I can further understand the Canadian culture.

Interests

Guitar, and Music - I spend a lot of time looking for live music and finding new music and creating my own.
Basketball, Rugby, Cricket and most sports
Hiking and the outdoors.
Beer and Food, of course
Movies
Pretty much find interest in learning about anything new, how things are made, different ways of life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Gary Clark Jr, Ben Harper and Eminem would be my top 3 artists. I grew up on Blues and the Beatles, got into rap growing up then moved into learning the guitar and enjoying all other types of music. I don't have much dance/techno music on my ipod nor country or metal but other than that I have some foreign music and a lot of genres to mix things up.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to teach guitar if anybody has one lying around or if I have mine with me, happy to share some new tunes including some of the Kiwi gems you may be missing! I am very enthusiastic and positive and hope I can leave you inspired and more positive if possible.
