I'm a 19 y/o male in a gap year. I'm a kind of calm guy, but not really. I have difficulties starting a conversation by myself, but I can talk of anything with people I barely know.

I'll be doing my first solo trip from January to May and I want to take the most out of it.

From the standards of where I come from, I'm a bit weird since I don't give a damn about conformity. But everyone who learned to know me can say I'm pretty fun. I'm a very open-minded guy, and I like when people are transparent with each other, wherever they are from, whoever they are. I always LOVE to hear people's opinions on all kind of matters
I'm also a bit of a geek and I need to try more new things, therefore the use of CS during my trip.
After that, I'm going back to Canada to start my water engineering bachelor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard a lot of good words about CS and I wanted to try it for my first solo trip In NZ. What makes a trip a good trip is the people you encounter and Couchsurfing is one of the best ways to learn more about the country from people who Iive there.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've seen most movies, really! Hollywood blockbusters, probably. Less-known or ''niche'' films from North America or Great Britain, even more probably.
I LOVE music, many genres too, but I prefer rock and metal music or songs with good texts. I read a lot of self-development books as well as sci-fi

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a pretty good teacher for things I master (French for example) and I like to share my knowledge as well as earn new one.
The culture of the place I live is pretty rich and I'd be happy to share some of it to people from other regions.
