I'm a pretty relaxed person, I like to try new things, explore new places and meet new people. I like sports, I play rugby (along with the rest of New Zealand), cricket, snowboarding and hiking.

You could also describe me as science-y. I studied physics and astronomy at college and love a good stargaze, but don't rule me out as an introvert! I like to socialize too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS to get an insiders view of the places I travel. There is only so much know how you can get from the internet or lonely planet. I'm also a social person and have no problem getting to know new people.

Although I have only hosted once, I had a great experience. I hope to host travelers once I set up in the US myself.

Interests

Sports - I'll watch almost any sport. My favorites are rugby and cricket but since I've moved to the US I've gotten into BBall, Hockey and Baseball a lot more.

Nature?? - I don't really know what that means but I like to be outside hiking or whatever.

Beer - And wine. And Gin. And Whiskey....

Science - It's what I studied, so I can't help but love a good nerdy chat.

Music, Movies, and Books

Book - Jack Kerouac, On The Road - Great story for a guy about to travel in the states.

Movies - The Beach... Life Aquatic... now that I think about it I'd watch anything with Leo DiCaprio or Bill Murray!

Music - Tough question but I listen to a big range. Bon Iver, Vampire Weekend, the Strokes, Ben Howard, Run the Jewels, Action Bronson, the Beatles. What do you call that?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to India and visited the Taj Mahal - I took a silly picture. But seriously that trip was great.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm studied up in Physics and Astronomy so I could talk o you a lot about that but it would probably bore you. How about I teach you how to play rugby, cricket, how to make a Pavlova and all about L&P.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm here to share my adventure with you. I think when you are travelling, you wish for a home to sleep in, when you're at home you wish for adventure.

I can also lend you a hand of you need a bit of work done round the house.

Obviously, I'm keen to share a beer, I am a Kiwi after all.
