I am a 25 year old male from New Zealand. Iv lived in NZ up until i finished my degree and just two weeks after my last exam I moved to Saigon (Vietnam). I lived here for a year and had some amazing and awesome experiences that made me love Vietnam, Asia, travel and living abroad. I met my Girlfriend in Cambodia (who's from the States) and shortly after we decided to head to the fun and vibrant shores of Taiwan to inspire the youth and teach English. We lived here for a year and a half and spent each weekend either motorcycling in the mountains, snorkeling on islands, eating street food or having a few drinks and hitting the KTV (karaoke). I had a blast and following our departure I spent the next 5 months traveling Japan, Myanmar and India.

I love spontaneous decisions and meeting new and friendly people. I hope to see the world many more times and meet many many more people along the way.

I am currently back in New Zealand but planning my next trip to the good ol USA in the coming months so visit my Girlfriend, sister and see what the giant land has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love having new and wild conversations with all walks of life. I want to couchsurf to meet people and get that bit local knowledge that everyone has....and any knowledge on life is a bonus. I also enjoy seeing how other people live and hope to draw inspirations for my own home in the future.

Interests

I love skateboarding and all other boardsports for that matter.
Im into creating my own electronic music....learning that is. and I love all sorts of music from Hip Hop to classic Rock. I always like to draw paint and create anything new and visually pleasing. I like nature walks and having a few beers in the evening.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to help anyone who is learning English as I used to be an English teacher. Could teach people how to skateboard if they were interested. I want to learn as much as I can about other peoples lives and hopefully share a story or two about my own!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share some food that I cook, while we share a beer and few adventure stories.
I can also share a hand with any labor or work needed around the property or house as I love to help out on a project!
