I'm a 25 y/o Kiwi, Born and raised in West Auckland. I love our beautiful bush and beaches, the friendly people and the peaceful surrounds. I'm always looking for new places to expereince, people to meet and exciting things to do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be able to travel to as many countries as possible and really experience the culture. No one knows a place like the people who live there and It's my hope they're willing to share a little bit of their lives with me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listed to a really wide variety of music and I'll constantly ask people for recommendation. I really enjoy animated movies - If you haven't tried it yet go for some Studio Ghibli - amazing stories and animation. Otherwise probably Fightclub. There's so many books, but I really enjoy Fantasy and Sci-Fi as genres. My favorite books I've recently read have been The Martian - Andy Weir, The Wise Man's Fear - Patrick Rothfus and The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've learned how to enjoy life by prioritising happiness over other things. I don't care too much about the small things so long as I can go for a beautiful walk on the weekend. I wont argue with someone I disagree with because I've learned to see things from their point of view. I don't stress about my job because I know I can always change it if I want to. I work to live, not live to work.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a lot of water based activities. I've been a lifeguard for over ten years at Piha Surf Life Saving Club. Surfing, Swimming, Kayaking, Waterskiing, Wakeboarding, Stand Up Paddleboarding and a few others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A relaxed conversationalist. A willing companion to adventure with. Good food!
