About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience a touch of Europe, met cool people and see epic landscapes and architecture and learn something along the way

ABOUT ME

Easy going, good natured, appreciative, mature & immature, adventurous, honest, motivated when I want something, imaginative. Inspired by the awesomeness of others.

PHILOSOPHY

Be healthy, have an open mind and be optimistic about life and make the most of everything. I live my life to share experiences and grow with amazing people.

I'm not sure if I made this up or remembered it from somewhere - "If's not how you play the cards you are dealt, it's how you receive them"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To live with a smile and open eyes, to be silly because I feel like it. Surfing because I love the excitement and the feel of the ocean. To talk with friends to share a laugh, knowledge, experience and life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first time of long term travelling was through South America, I first went to Chile I worked there as a Volunteer English Teacher and I heard about couchsurfing. I tried it and got hooked.

Interests

I really like surfing, I love the sea. I like to travel, watch movies, cooking, learn about history and listen to stories, the outdoors I like keeping fit and active even though while travelling it can be difficult, I really like learning how things work and why things are the way they are, but you can´t beat the company of good friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I have seen is phosphorescence sailing at night in the open ocean with dolphins swimming through it. As they swam the glowed brightly and were very easy to see through the very dark water.

Una de las cosas más increíbles que he visto es la vela fosforescencia en la noche en el mar con los delfines nadando a través de ella. A medida que nadaban a traves del agua que brillaban intensamente en la oscuridad.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you things about Maori culture. I could teach you "the haka" the typical war dance of the maori people.
