CURRENT MISSION

The best of life

ABOUT ME

We are married (to each other!), but don't have children. We love our life in New Zealand but also spent lots of time soaking up the world. But we are also very lucky that we travelled a lot through our work. We've visited many places in the world, but there is still more to see. We've always enjoyed staying with local people, because you see a very different and authentic side of life.

We have pretty liberal views on most things and experienced a lot. We do our best to enjoy life and the simple things it has to offer, including the people we meet.

PHILOSOPHY

Make the most of what you've got, and share it with others. Try to make a positive difference in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We're hosting for now, but no doubt will end up surfing as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We;'ve been hosting for a few years now and met some amazing people.

When we came across couchsurfing, we thought we'd really like to do some hosting. We've always enjoyed hosting others, friends of friends and the like. We live in a little piece of paradise, and we like others to experience it.

Interests

Many and varied. Outdoors - beaches, walking, sea kayaking, sailing. Entertaining, particularly around the pizza oven. Our work is a passion - we own a business which is about better leaders and greater purpose. Music (eclectic). Wine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to define amazing? Between the two of us... kayaked with Orcas, swum with dolphins, flown gliders, written a best-selling book, served a Prince, helped change the lives of people.

Everyday we wake up and look out and see a place that is amazing! We're sure you'll agree.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can show you how to cook in a wood-fired oven! We can share a bit about wellbeing. We can share our experience of developing a property from 'the outside in', starting your own business, and something about the local area.

We are open to learning and experiencing more of just about anything.
