Overview
About Me
Bit of a nomad, and an addict to travel. I've found myself a wanderer of the continents over the last 4 year. From the rice paddies of Bali to the glaciers of Patagonia, even a 12 000 mile motorcycle trip from LA to Panama. Now I've found myself in NZ for the next chapter... Easy going, friendly and up for a laugh
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I guess I was a little aprehensive of CS at first, met a host in Colombia who invited me to go and stay. Her and family were so hospitable and welcoming it completely changed my perception. Such a great way to meet and stay with locals in their own contries, get inside info on great places to go and the potential to make some good friends for life.
