About Me

Currently living in Wellington New Zealand with my girlfriend Mudy.
We live in a tiny basement-like concrete apartment that gets no sun.
Very soon we are going to give up this idyllic lifestyle and travel around Asia for 6 months, starting with 2 months of Muay Thai training in Chaing Mai.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am about to get rid of everything and go travelling Asia.
While travelling I hope to meet some of the locals and to properly experience the culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most types of music (always keen to find some new stuff). I lived in a movie-mad flat while at university so I have seen a lot of really good films! Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson is probably my favorite book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a heavy metal (music) cruise ship ride around the Caribbean (70,000 tons on metal).

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn as much as possible about other countries and cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Kiwi slang!

Countries I’ve Visited
