I am like a super unique person who has so many AMAZING friends, like so many AWESOME experiences and like so many FASCINATING hobbies.

I also hate sarcasm.

But seriously, my two favourite things are climbing (rock and alpine) and interesting characters. Climbing itself is my favourite activity but listening to the apocryphal tales of grizzled, gruff, aging mountain men is a close second.

I think that life should consist of doing things interesting enough to analyse then overanalysing said interesting things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just bought my own place in West Auckland and can finally start hosting people! Climbers and Americans especially welcome (I have great fondness for Americans, I love the States). I'm currently unable to climb because of an ankle injury but once I'm recovered I'll be happy to go climbing with you.

I'm also going to the US next June. The plan is to drive from San Francisco to Boulder and climb wherever possible on the way. If any climbers have spare couches in Boulder that would be fantastic!

Interests

As mentioned, climbing! Although slightly less so right now, having spent most of the year praying for my ankle bones to knit back together after being dropped by my belayer and falling 7m.
