Presently travelling in New Zealand for three months 🌱🏔️
I have been on couchsurfing for a while now but haven't used it because i mainly travel by bike and have been using warm showers. I am familiar with the way this Sharing experience Works and am keen to try it with couchsurfing!!
----------------------

I am Laurence, a solo 22 year old traveler, interested in community and sustainable living, mountains (!) and open-mindness. I am on a journey to learn about permaculture and trying to work on imagining a better way to love and live, alternatively.

I adore music, playing cards and board games, drinking good beer, reading, gardening, yoga, and do anything that is outdoors. Really, anything.

I am studying environmental sciences as well as indigenous studies (in anthropology) and I studied adventure tourism. Many things give me shivers and make me all tingly inside, especially getting to know what give others their shivers!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel like this is the usual answer, but : to actually meet people and share! Share meals, stories, activities, tea, a smile!

Travelling is all about getting out There and learning, about others and about yourself through others. 🤝🍻

Interests

I feel a lot of things could fit in here!
As long as it is green, small, critical about capitalism, respectful of nature and it's beauty, anything will interest me! Oh, and fun!
