Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love meeting new people, hear about their (travel&life) experiences, learn about other cultures, their slangs, jokes, customs and CS does just that!
When Im settled down and got a place of my own Ill be able to return the favor and hosts people who are struggling with that same nasty travelbug.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Ive got into CS since my travels in New Zealand but I love it! Each of the hosts I've stayed with so far were all great in their own way. It's great to experience all their differences and have a good talk and laugh about it.
Fantastic experiences and awesome way to travel of which I hope to do lots more of!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Wandering around NZ on a Working Holiday Visa for 1 year:
-Spontaneous encounter and swim with a group of Common Dolphins who were surfing the waves in Tawharanui - NZ.
-Encounter with a wild Killer whale and touching him!
-Volunteering at Massey University in Albany at the department Ecology and thereby helping researchers with their fieldwork (got to work with monkeys at the Zoo, photographing dorsal fins of the Common dolphin, catching native birds and lizards in the rural areas of NZ and much much more!)
-Walking Avelanche Peak at Arthurs Pass - NZ. Killing hike but def worthwhile the climb! Stunning views!
