I grew up in Omarama but have been away for many years working, studying and traveling. I have recently returned to this town to finish my building apprenticeship and am making the most of what this place has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing as I enjoy the experience of hosting and helping out travelers as they travel through this part of the country. I hope to give people a positive experience and share a bit of my life as local here. I work full time during the week so may not be able to hang out all the time, but at the least I can offer a warm comfortable home to break up a journey.

Interests

I studies 3D Animation/ Game design in Wellington before moving down here. Since I've moved down here I've been taking more advantage of the outdoors. When I get time I like to go diving on the coast, hunting/fishing, snowboarding in the winter and go for trips around the country on my motorbike to experience the scenery around here. I've also joined the local fire brigade in town here which has been great.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a range of books/ Movies/ Books. I'm currently reading A Brief History of Nearly Everything. I'm always up for suggestions for a new TV series or book to read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a 8 months trip when I was 23-24 by myself .I divided my time to 4 months in south east Asia and 4 months in Europe. It was my first time out of the country so I had a lot of great experiences with visiting so many countries in that time, but I think Myanmar way the best. Last year I did a 4 week trip around India.
