CURRENT MISSION

Work and living in the far north of New Zealand. Fluent speaker of te reo Māori, enjoy the beach and the ocasional hike

ABOUT ME

Enjoy good company and interesting conversation. We both enjoy the outdoors. Really enjoy meeting people from other cultures and sharing about ours. We know the far north very well and are happy to lend the couch out for up to two nights. We have two couches BTW.

PHILOSOPHY

Be humble of ones achievements but proud in who one is as a person. Respect others and be good to people regardless of where they come from or who they are. Return kindness with kindness :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have a background in Science and Māori Language revitalisation. Working in the area of media and water harvesting. We live right next to the river in Taipa and a 5 minute walk to a great swimming beach. I wouldnt swim in Winter thought its tooo cold.

Its also good to learn to surf...when the waves are right. If you're here in the winter you will need a wetsuit.

If you want to help out in the garden you are welcome to make your self at home :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

surfed alot of couches but only those of people I know .... or places I've crashed at. Happy to host people who would like to get to know the far north of Aotearoa, New Zealand.
