CURRENT MISSION

Spreading the word that dressing up in costumes shouldn't end after childhood.

ABOUT ME

One of my best friends says:
"Geoff (or as most of us call him, Goff) is a fun-loving, energetic and lovable goofball who has a penchant for bad music and gives great hugs."

PHILOSOPHY

Give yourself to others. Take it easy, be spontaneous with your travel plans, and share as much as you can! Travelling is about sharing experiences, places, and activities, so get out there and meet people and see what wonderful things you can give each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to help spread the joy that couchsurfing brings to participants worldwide, and give back whenever I can by sharing my experiences/knowledge/stories or whatever I can do. To give with no expectation

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed around the USA a couple of years back... finally I have the chance to host and return the favour!

Interests

The best thing in the world is NEW EXPERIENCES!
But I love working with kids, animals, and anything in the wide world outdoors! Basically anything active and fun, like wakeboarding, snowboarding, the beach, hiking, mountain biking, pretty much all team sports (whether I'm good or not!), boats, cars, and motorbikes...

I love sunrises and sunsets, watching storms, conversations that go for hours, and just appreciating the small things that make moments special.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything I can get my hands on - I have a huge thirst for new music, movies and books!

Music is a huge passion of mine - I grew up playing various classical instruments and eventually moved onto working as a DJ for many years. I can usually find something I like in any person's music collection.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The sense of satisfaction after reaching the summit of Mount French in New Zealand in a blizzard.

Seeing the smiles on kids' faces when they conquer a new challenge or learn something new - getting to work with young people as a teacher or coach is something I cherish as an amazing privilege.

Wakeboarding on a glassy, deserted lake at dawn on my birthday a few years ago as the sun came up... that was pretty special!

Teach, Learn, Share

Plenty of town bikes to borrow. Snowboarding lessons. Guitar. Songs. Games. Music. Rock-climbing/hiking/biking/outdoors. Wakeboarding and waterskiing. Rowing.
