About Me

I am biking from Ipiales to Cartagena so I will be passing through every small town (and large cities!) along the way.

I grew up in New Zealand. When I finished high school I decided to teach English in Taiwan for a couple of years in the hope of learning Chinese and also to experience a different lifestyle. Living in Asia was a great experience, and the thing I miss most is probably food. It was amzing and open till 3am in the morning. Good times!

After two years of asia I came back to Christchurch, New Zealand to study. I spend most of my time studying and working, however Christchurch is a great place to see the outdoors. You can ski and surf on the same day!

I really enjoy getting as much out of life as possible, and this is why I'm doing this trip around Colombia. I hope to builg an affinity with this country and maybe return here after university.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I´m really keen to meet new people from each city, all my friends who have tried it say they have had lots of fun couch surfing.

Interests

I love learning languages and travelling. Those two things really are my main goals in life; after that I enjoy being with friends and family whether it is going out with them or having meals at home.
