Hi,

I'm a 56 year old Kiwi (New Zealander) currently in Iran. I used to live in Melbourne but now traveling overseas. I work in the food industry. I love travel and history and combine the 2 whenever I can. I can speak some French and German - I mean I can get by but cannot sustain a philosophical discourse ;)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I think you meet the real people of a country this way. Hotels are so impersonal

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Went to Iran 5 times between 2014-2025 🤣- fascinating place. Not dangerous like the lying media lets you believe. It’s been interesting to see how’s it’s changed over the years including being there during the recent war 😵‍💫

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I look to share my experiences, passion for history and travel with a host and hope to learn from them about their city and country

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Respect and friendship. I want to be a guest who offers something to my hosts and we can both look back and say that was a great experience.
