I hail from the land of the long white cloud, New Zealand. I studied marine biology. And since, I've been drawn to the simplicity that presents itself when travelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and to grasp a deeper understanding of the places that I visit through the local people. It's an amazing tool.

Interests

Travelling, hiking, mountains, SCUBA, sailing, the ocean, music, forests, photography, meeting like-minded people, food, ecology, anything underwater, chocolate. Currently, I've been into fermenting things. I'd like to get into permaculture a bit more.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most music. Typically rock, indie, folk, a bit of dub and kiwi music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was fortunate enough to guide tourists swimming with Humpback whales in Tonga for half a season. I then refunded my return airfare and sailed back home to New Zealand.

Another adventure enticed us to sail the unforgiving Indian Ocean from Australia to South Africa. This then lead to driving 30,000kms through Africa and onto Europe by motorcycle. That, was amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is to continuously learn, never stop.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Kindness, laughter, adventure, life.
