About Me

I have been on Couchsurfing since 2014 and have made some amazing memories using the platform. I have also been lucky to host others at my place in Wellington, New Zealand. I am currently interested in attending events, meetups and surfing for the time being.

I have travelled mostly in Asia, the Pacific, and Europe and I am currently learning Chinese. I play the guitar, love music, like cooking, exercising, hiking, camping, reading, having deep conversations about life and also having a laugh. If we are in the same area and you would like to meet up, feel free to send me a message!

:)

Live free, work smoothly and be happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been extremely lucky to surf in Poland, China, Japan, Vietnam and India. I have also had the opportunity to enjoy the company of surfers in various locations throughout Asia, and New Zealand!

During my time in New Zealand I hosted a travellers from the Netherlands, Taiwan, USA, France and Israel, and had a fantastic experience. I am looking forward to hosting again once my situation allows :)

Couchsurfing has been a massive part of my experience as a backpacker. I am excited to continue surfing, hanging out and attending events.

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly listen to indie, country, classical and ambient music. I grew up listening to classic rock and metal so I will listen to the oldies now and again when I`m in the mood.

I`m not a massive movie watcher, however, I recently decided to watch all of the MCU films in chronological order and now I`m obsessed!

I love reading books on Philosophy, Society, Eastern Philosophy, Religion, Spirituality and Politics. All the boring stuff! 😆

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everything.

Teach, Learn, Share

There is no crime greater than having too many desires;
There is no disaster greater than not being content;
There is no misfortune greater than being covetous.
Hence in being content, one will always have enough.
(Lao Tzu)
