I'm young man from New Zealand going by Richard or Leo. I am writing this personal presentation looking out on a beautiful lake in Nepal alternating tea and lemon mint. My legs are recovering from 50 days of walking up, down and around the Himalayas. I am from Wellington and have lived up hills all of my life (except time in Dunedin, I had to go looking for them!) So walking in Nepal is like what I have been doing all my life only 100 times more extreme. However it has been 3 months since I have seen the sea which is an absence like that of hills to me. Mediterranean maybe? 

I am travelling for a year as a break from university. So far I am been to Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India and Nepal.
Next stop is Spain!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

From my time hitchhiking in New Zealand I've been picked up by travellers many times. It's lovely to share things about my country and learn about others while on the road so why not do it in each others homes?
