About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see more wonderful places and meet more wonderful people

ABOUT ME

I'm an easygoing, quiet, calm, reflective type. I'm also very interested in going out and meeting people. I'm really interested in psychology, music (I play guitar and keyboard a bit), and sport (especially cricket).

I'm very keen on the philosophy behind couch surfing - community networking and collaboration - and very keen to get involved :)

I've been very involved with the queer and trans community for a long time in New Zealand. I'm passionate about helping others, especially those less fortunate than I.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short - live life to the fullest when you can. Respect others. Human rights are paramount. I'm slightly (but not very good at being) Buddhist.

Collaborative community empowerment is fantastic :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm just starting out. I don't have a couch to spare at the moment as I have have a number flatmates who aren't keen for us to have any more people staying on a regular basis, but I am very keen to host people in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed on some amazing people's couches during a trip to San Francisco and Atlanta in 2011.
