I'm Grant, based in Auckland New Zealand in the NZ summer, travel as much as possible during the NZ winter to explore this incredible world. I enjoy meeting interesting people who share a curiosity and passion for life, embracing new cultures and ideas, meeting and learning from others by sharing ideas, opinions and experiences.
Simply saying YES more.
If you send a request to stay, please do take the time to describe what you're looking to do in Auckland and why you think we may 'vibe'. I prefer opening my home to people who want to engage in conversation, opinions, and learn something from it. I trust you're seeking the same and not just a place to 'crash' for the night.

Philosophy
We all have something to contribute to life, the secret and fun is in the discovery of what we do best. In the meantime let's simply enjoy contributing whatever we can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Enjoying travelling to explore more of the world, hosting travellers for learning and making new friends, meeting good people to share great experiences. Living more outside the comfort zone.

"Travel while you are young and able, don't worry about the money, just make it work. Experience is more valuable than money will ever be".

"Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer".

"Of all the books in the world the best pages are found between the pages of a passport"
