Kia ora! My name is Jared, I'm a recent graduate from New Zealand. I studied business and international development at Victoria University of Wellington.

Last year I was living for 10 months on Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea, as a volunteer within the Autonomous Bougainville Government.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In April 2017 I'm travelling to Europe for a backpacking adventure. I'd love to meet plenty of everyday people off the tourist track whether it be by sharing the same roof for a night or two or checking out your favourite town spots together.
