I have been in New Zealand some 5 months now on a working holiday visa. Currently pursuing work within the UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, or 'drones' as they are known as). Spent the last couple of years in Australia working with Sensis, 'Where is Mapping' where I carried out data capture around the country with the onboard cameras. A bit like the Google Maps 'Streetview' for the people who know what Im talking about. Its was an interesting job and to be honest I've seen a lot more of Australia than I thought I would...for free!! Drove some 40,000 miles in the 8 months doing it over the two years I was in Australia. I have a 2:1 Hons degree in Civil Engineering. Recently travelled a bit of America, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong and China.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling New Zealand and I think couchsurfing is a great way of meeting new people and experiencing other peoples lives who are from other countries.
