About Me
Check out my Instagram for a semi-glimpse into my life:

And this is my partner’s Instagram account, who I’m usually travelling with:
stanley_hannington
I live in Auckland, New Zealand.
I tend to travel internationally a couple times a year.
I would love to host visitors and I enjoy going out, trying the awesome restaurants here and having a few drinks or going to a club for a dance.
If you want to stay at my place, be aware that I won't necessarily want to come with you to the super touristy stuff. I can't do that with all our visitors, it just gets boring and expensive :-) I will of course point out all the best attractions, give you local advice and join you for a meal out or an outing or something!
Happy Travels Everyone!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love meeting new people, listening to house music and getting out-and-about town wherever I am.
I love to experience the cultures of the locations I travel to and what better way than to stay with a resident?! I stay at hotels and hostels quite often so it is a real treat when I get to couch surf.
I also want to host laid back people that have a keen interest in our town and want an insight into our local life.

Climbed/crossed the Tongariro Volcano early morning (4am) to catch the sunrise at the summit. Amazing!
Teach, Learn, Share
Did you know that Albert Einstein did terribly at school in the subject History and didn't speak a word until he was over 2 years old.
The flesh of american blueberries isn't blue! Just the skin is blue!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Myself i guess, through being good company (hopefully) lol
Exchange knowledge and share personal experiences. I try to add value wherever I go.
I’m a DJ so I have lots of curated playlists and I’m happy to jump on the decks if you wish :) Stanley is a passionate photographer/videographer so he would gladly share his skills in some way. Maybe a new profile pic? :)
