ABOUT ME

Hi all,

Well I'm a typical Kiwi boy thats seen a bit of the world! I grew up in a small town(Whakatane) and moved the capital Wellington, then onto London where I lived for over three years. I came back to NZ late 2013 after having some amazing adventures and meeting equally amazing people! A lot of it thanks to Couchsurfing.
You may have heard of a travel YouTuber called Karl Watson who is a good friend of mine we did a pretty sweet road trip around NZ - check it out! https://youtu.be/PC7ZTv0I5M

I'm really interested in seeing as much of the world as possible, experiencing it, its people, its heart and soul.
I'm of Maori (NZ Native) descent my tribe (Ngati Porou) is from the East coast of New Zealand.
I also work as a senior manager for New Zealand Red Cross so my life is very busy!

PHILOSOPHY

Take every oppurtuntity given to you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really am keen on making some life long friends from all over the world, and to also teach those that I meet some of my customs. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was CSing all around the world while living in London and I've made some wonderful life long friends, what I love is that everyone is on the same wave length! Opening of their hearts and homes - its a very special community!
Now I'm back in the most beautiful country on earth I'd love to give some back :)

Interests

Well I looooove travel! But also I'm a very social creature, so heading out and seeing the night life. I have had a love of classic cars since my childhood.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love Wilbur Smith! Great story teller!
Boy the movie (NZ) - its basically my childhood

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I try to travel overseas once a year! May not sound like much if you live in Europe but try living on a tiny Island on the other side of the earth! ha ha
Because of our remoteness I tried to see as much as possible, country total so far is 56, top 5 Cuba, Jordan, Nepal, Italy and Egypt. Heading to Argentina, Brazil and Peru in April 2019.

Teach, Learn, Share

My roots are from a culture that is quite removed from the rest of the world, many have never heard of the native people of New Zealand, but i would consider it and honour to share my knowledge :)
