MISSION: FREEDOM, LIVING! Following my dreams by travelling the world! I have a goal to see every other country in the world before i head back home to New Zealand.. I live where i stand.. Its all about experiencing life, being free, making every day a good day and to conquer the world! I spent 2.5 years as a full time leather backpacker hitchhiking europe, then travelled further in a camper van and on motorcycles becoming a full time rubber backpacker for coming up another 2.5 years and another 3.5 years in mexico during covid learning Spanish, then 3 months Europe snowboarding season in the french alpes, 9 months travelling Morocco Nd Mauritania, back to the french aloes for another 3 month snowboarding season and now through the UK making it my 9th year without returning home..

ABOUT ME: Im a NZ born beach bum that left home and school early at 15years to work different jobs each year then started and finished studies to become a qualified auto electrician, starting business then decided to take a break from every day life and be free to travel the world. Proving to myself and the world what is truly possible/achievable by taking that one step that everyone dreams of.. Starting again, with my life in my backpack/camper/motorcycle, no strings back in New Zealand. The world is my home. I love to be as spontaneous as possible and go where the wind will take me, to meet new people, new cultures and have a good time going out to festivals, helping with projects, sports or just chilling. I love to help people out randomly in any situation! To help people smile. I am really open and a genuine guy that believes if you are honest and caring towards others no harm will come your way.. =D If you play it right, Life is what dreams are made of.. Live the dream..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get involved, help out as much as i can with peoples travels and meet friends from all over the world. Now that i am traveling i have a better sense of direction, met friends world wide and feel like i am unlocking my mind.. I love to meet other open minded travellers and to inspire people around the world. You learn from the people, the people learn from you. You take from the people, you give to the people. Share what you can 😊🙌🏽
