Hi everyone! I'm Jackson, a displaced Kiwi now living in Rome after two years in Mozambique. Like many of you guys I'm big on travel, meeting new people and squeezing the most out of the time I have. I'm happy travelling solo but company is always better, hoping to meet some cool travel companions soon! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a bit of a newbie to couchsurfing, but have been introduced to it as a sweet way avoid the tourist scene and get into the fabric of new places more quickly. Happy to host as well, currently in my lovely apartment in Rome.

Interests

Love outdoors: Hiking, camping, climbing, diving, beaching. Beyond that I spend a lot of my free time with friends; would rather meet up for a drink than turn on a TV.
