We are two humans and a dog living in an awesome pad just an hour north of Auckland and a stones throw away from Goat island marine reserve (New Zealands first marine reserve). We like to have fun, listen and play music, go on random adventures, host friends and eat good food.

I am originally from the tropical island of Great Britain but I now live in a little gem of a place called Leigh with one of my best friends Lindsay. I have traveled various places around the world and people have kindly welcomed me into their homes and now I feel that it's time to give back. Lindsay and myself have recently moved into a lovely property with two spare rooms, pool, spa, library with lots of books and a whole lot more.

We both work full time but free weekends and evenings to hang and show you around the area. Super chilled vibes and you are more than welcome to hang out and enjoy the place if we are not here.

The iconic Leigh Sawmill Cafe is just up the road where Lindsay hosts an open mic night along with local and international artists coming through every weekend.

So if you like the ocean. nature, music, food or just just having a good old yarn don't hesitate to give us a message.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was introduced to couch surfing by a friend when I was traveling through Indonesia. It was the most amazing experience and I have since used couchsurfing and bikepacking all over the world.
