Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

I am embarking on the journey of learning, taonga puoro ( Maori wind instruments) which involves learning the varied purposes for playing these treasures. As well as mastering their different facets and manufacturing techniques. Travelling to different regions and attending wananga at symposiums around New Zealand and the world will require finding accomodation in many destinations where Couchsurfing will become an invaluable resource
