Overview
About Me
Hi! I host single travellers for up to two nights normally. I love meeting other single travellers from different parts of the world and hearing about their countries and giving them tips on NZ. (Ps I do not host two or more people travelling together or those just looking for free accommodation last minute sorry as I find it too overwhelming.)
Ps I am overseas from 18 Nov to 3 Dec.
I am an independent nudist- friendly gay guy with plenty of good mates in NZ and around the world. I live in a three bedroom townhouse in a quiet location that is a bus ride from the city. Guests get their own bedroom upstairs - I have a great roommate who Iives in the bedroom downstairs.
I am embracing more of a nudist lifestyle so please let me know you are comfy with that in your request.
I love going to new places and meeting people or showing people around Auckland. I am not a clubber - but love the beach, swimming and hiking and go to a great yoga group. My favourite beach is St Leonard’s Beach.
All I ask is that you respect my place and my other cool roomie, keep your room tidy and bed made and help out a bit when you are here eg doing dishes or buying the food for and cooking a meal. I love it when couchsurfers try some yoga and the nudist lifestyle and cook me a traditional meal from their country!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I host single travellers only who understand the spirit of Couchsurfing and help out with cooking and sharing food etc and are keen to share in interests I have in nudism, yoga, hiking and home cooking.
I like to meet other travellers from around the world to hear about their countries and show them a bit of Auckland. I like to meet travellers who make an effort in the spirit of couch surfing and are tolerant and open minded. I have met some great people from all over the world - I find it fascinating to hear about their home countries.
