Enjoy the outdoors.... respect people... enjoy life.. I have been teaching for many years here in NZ and abroad. I enjoy wood working, fly fishing and travel. I have relatives abroad in Europe, Asia and Canada. I teach children. Some want to be ponies and gallop around, others bark madly like dogs. What kind of animal are you? I am easy going and happy to support you in many ways. Please read some references, you will get the feeling about me from others. Use my place as a base for further exploration or just catch up on sleep. Do as you wish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing to connect with fellow Earthlings. After over 140 guests I have met many wonderful people and I'm looking forward to meeting you! I have never been a guest, only a host. Please let me know how I can help you with your stay here. I am looking forward to enjoying a brief moment of our lives together.

Please start your request with:
Hey Pedro... and at least tell me a little about yourself.

Welcome to my life and place!
