Exploring the world this year - doing as much hiking, writing, photography, scuba diving, drawing, cooking and learning about new places as possible. I'm excited to meet many of you along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to find people on my travels who want to share something of their local culture and give me their perspectives on life in their area. I am particularly interested in visiting/photographing natural wonders, trying what you do for fun, seeing native plants and wildlife, tasting local foods, and hearing about the history of your community. Anything I can offer you when you visit New Zealand, I will!
