Hi I'm Matt,

I love to surf, snowboard, hike, play golf and rugby. I have lived in Auckland since 2015 and I still find new things to do in this city every day. I love the Auckland cafe culture and the nightlife is great too. I work for a professional services firm in the city and love to explore Auckland during the night and on the weekends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, especially travelers, because they always want to explore the country and go on new adventures.

I also want to pay forward all the generosity everyone showed me when I was travelling

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies I like obviously include Lord of the Rings! I also enjoy Star Wars, all the marvel and DC films, Rush Hour and all of Quentin Tarantino's movies.
My favorite music includes a lot of songs from New Zealand bands like Six60, Fat Freddy's Drop and Shapeshifter. If I ever go to karaoke Angels by Robbie Williams and Hero by Enrique are my jams.
I'm a fan of biographies and other non-fiction books but also enjoy a lot of fiction from Dostoevsky to Harry Potter!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

in 2011 I learned to fly a plane on the California coast.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer surfing lessons and strong beer pong competition. I can also take you on a tour of the Auckland city nightlife!
I would love to host people who can speak Spanish or cook traditional meals from their country.
