About Me

CURRENT MISSION

figure out what to with my life....

ABOUT ME

Just finished up with my studies, and keen for a bit of a break from the real world/Can't really face going straight into a serious full time job. Looking to travel in 2013.I'm very outdoorsy and love sports, as well as different cultures and music. Looking to meet lots of new friends, and experience lots of different cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

That's a very deep question.... At the moment I think I'm pretty content to just have a few laughs and share some good times with my friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Joined towards the end of last year, with the intention of using this site on my travels throughout Europe in 2013. Over summer I have hosted a few surfers and have really enjoyed the experience meeting some amazing people and new friends along the way. From the end of March I will be travelling throughout Europe for a while, so it would be cool to do lots of surfing myself. Then when I'm back home I will definitely host again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a few people back home and then stayed with lots of awesome people over in europe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most of by best moments have just been with a bunch of good friends having a fun time, whether it be going camping, playing sport or having a few drinks.

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I could teach you a bit about kiwi culture and am reasonably knowledgeable about lots of good spots to go and things to do in NZ. Also could teach you any biking or orienteering skills (which is probably very irrelevant...)
Would love to learn a little about where ever you are from and your culture. And how to surf, which is my mission this summer.
