I'm exploring New Zealand, seeking adventures, tall tales, good food and good people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking back on my travels, homestays are the experiences I remember the most. Sharing meals, stories, and company with someone where they live and work is a wonderful experience and a welcome break from the road.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Plucked a possum. Not really amazing, but amazed that I did it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach/share rock climbing technique and skills, digital photography tips, thoughts and discussions on energy and water (those are the professional areas of interest in my life).

Love to learn cooking of various cuisines (if you have a special/family recipe to share, all the better!), how to juggle, how to fish (it's been a while for me), winter sports and water sports.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to share my travel experiences and photos, cooking (Mexican, American, and limited Thai cuisine), conversation and my company for outdoor activities.
