I'm from beautiful New Zealand, lived in Australia (4yrs) and Singapore (2yrs). Traveled all over SEA when living in Singapore, and since the borders opened up I have been back out there seeing the world. This year's travel includes Vietnam, Philippines, Taiwan, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Jordan, and Turkey.
I am a competitive table tennis player, every country I visit I track down the local table tennis club for a game with locals. Safe to say New Zealand doesn't hold a candle to most Asian countries in this sport.
This will be my first time using Couchsurfing, I made the account in 2017 and always opted for Airbnb/hotels. Let's see how this goes...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm living and traveling on a budget, working remotely for a New Zealand based company. Since I'll be staying weeks or months in each country I'd like to learn about how people live there, rather than just being a tourist. Looking forward to meeting people from all walks of life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Plenty of music from old to new. I have an extensive cd collection back home, almost 700 albums now.
Action movies, serious movies, movies that make you think...
But also enjoy comedy genre, maybe I can also watch some movies from your country while visiting.
Each year I try to read 20 books, mostly fiction but some self help and autobiographies, there is always something new to learn.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked at the World Table Tennis Championships four times

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach Microsoft Excel, I use it every day for my work.
