CURRENT MISSION

I first started travelling in 2008 on what I thought would be a 12 month round the world trip but never really stopped! Currently living in Auckland with my wife Nicola, and we're welcoming hosts! Come and say hi!

The world is addictive, but not nearly as much as the people.

ABOUT ME

I'm Mike from England. A travel, football, music and movie obsessive with a healthy appetite for socialising with strangers, and an unhealthy appetite to be a grammar-Nazi.

PHILOSOPHY

Life experience is more valuable than wealth, and people make the world go round, not money.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Despite the vast amount of travelling that I have done, I have failed to utilise Couchsurfing to its full potential, having only ever stayed with Couchsurfing hosts through the contact of a mutual friend. Now is the time to begin.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

0 as of yet!

Interests

Aside from the obvious that is travel, I'm a complete football nut, and have a rather vast collection of both movies and music. I'm also a bit of a dab hand in the kitchen, and of course, who doesn't love a beer? Will try anything dangerous.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The list endless, but if I write it down here then what will we possibly talk about?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, I can cook a good meal, and I hope I'm generally good company.
