About Me

I'm from New Zealand although I have been travelling and living in Asia and South America lately. I have been teaching English abroad and working in the environmental sector when I am home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So I can host chill people and pretend to be a tourist in my home country which is fun to do. Also to meet locals and expats on the road and get a different perspective on things.

Interests

I'm into traveling, meeting cool people, cervezas, football (playing, watching, transfer gossiping), tunes, tubing, Mexican food, Indian food, fat western food, motorcycles that don't break and riding different kinda of boards that go sideways.

Music, Movies, and Books

At the moment I'm listening to Indie, Hip-Hop and lots of female artists.

I like a wide range of movies I guess, Anchorman, Lord of War (contains Nicolas Cage but it's dope I promise), The Constand Gardener, Lord of the Rings, Reservoir Dogs, The Godfather, The Notebook (jokes).

I like nerdy science books, biographies, mysteries, some fantasy stuff and anything funny.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just recently hiked to Ciudad Perdida in Colombia. Amazing place. You should go!

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't really know what this section is about..But I did teach kindergarten kids in Korea (South) for a year. And tried to in Thailand.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ive been teaching English in Asia if any hosts would like to practice. I've also been getting more into cooking lately. And other than that... average banter maybe?
