About Me

Having a bit of a wander around New Zealand - very easy going, friendly and respectful.
It's my fifth visit but there's always more to see.
Most of my family live in Auckland so I use them as a base - came over from the UK after finishing sailing down in the Med.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Staying with locals is hopefully the way forward - I never expect too much but as hosts are on couch surfing I would think they'd all be like minded people who would welcome guests with open arms and be very hospitable!

Maybe even show you around and have a couple beers and a BBQ !
Who knows ....

Interests

Sailing has been work for the last couple years.
Quite an avid windsurfer and surf any time I have the chance.

Teach, Learn, Share

Maybe you have your own plans but if your keen we can walk or run along the coast in either direction - amazing scenery to some of the best pubs in the Uk: Square & Compass Pub.
