ABOUT ME

Hi I'm Toby and I'm an Outdoor Instr from the UK. Really all this means is I enjoy climbing, teaching children and getting outside. My travels usually revolves around these things. British born and bred, I would like to think I represent the more favourable characteristics of my country - proper manners, a hearty proclivity to the underdog, and a love for tea.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

The first time I Couchsurfed was with a fellow Brit who just so happened to be living in Hamilton, New Zealand just about the time I was around the area and in need of accommodation, friendship and excitement. These things were very definitely satisfied when within an hour of my arrival I was on a road trip across the North Island to fish at Raglan for the night. Needless to say such an opportunity makes for great stories and at that point I knew Couchsurfing was what travelling was really about.
