Hello

I'm Lewis (26) and I am travelling around New Zealand with my partner Maria (25)
Lewis is a Photographer and I am a Textile Designer/Knitting Operative, We are both from England and have travelled all over this beautiful country by bus.
We enjoy travelling and meeting new people.

We love spending our time at galleries and seeing new art, Also going to gigs and festivals.
I love to go walking and exploring I am usually always drawing as I'm always inspired by nature and my partner is a passionate photographer and loves skateboarding.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We have just arrived in Christchurch after working in Clarence and Kaikoura as Traffic Controllers for two months. America is our next adventure and Christchurch is our last stop for exploring NZ.

We are soon to head to Portland Oregon and explore down the west coast of America and though we are new to Couchsurfing we love to meet new people, create new experiences and just generally seeing things that we would of never been able to without the coach surfing, as hostels, motels and hotels feel separate to the real culture.
