I'm a pretty relaxed guy from New Zealand and have been living in Poland since 2010. I love meeting people from every corner of the world and am quick to make friends. I also enjoy learning new languages, customs and recipes. I play reggae music in a local band and if you like making music, I have an instrument or two that we can jam on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like learning from other people and their experiences. I'm not able to host much at the moment, as I live in the countryside where transport is limited, but I'm happy to connect with travellers, whether in person or online. I've surfed once in Oslo and hosted people from all over Europe and even some parts of Asia while living in Toruń.
