I've been travelling since mid October and spent about 10 weeks in Nepal kayaking and trekking. Enjoy an outdoor activity when possible, whitewater kayaking and climbing are my main sports but also like to give mountain biking a go when I can. I also like reading when possible but haven't had many chances since leaving the UK because I've been too busy seeing the sights not that I'm complaining.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm very new to couch surfing but it sounds like it could be fun and the opportunity to meet new people. Not been in NZ long so it would be cool to make some new friends.

Interests

Been kayaking since I started university in 2012, it's my biggest hobby and just got addicted almost straight away, just try to get boating where possible. I started climbing in 2015 and used to go fairly regularly but not been able to since travelling which is a shame.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - An eclectic mix but probably more rock.
Books - A mix again but seem to like a dystopian novel, Terry Pratchett's Discworld, or a good action/adventure.
Movies - Favourites are Wayne's World, What we do in the shadows, Napoleon Dynamite, and Spinal tap... Anything that doesn't take itself too seriously.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While trekking in Nepal went outside in the middle of the night to see the best night sky I've ever seen, blew my mind!
