I work in the wine industry as a cellar hand, and travel in between jobs. Just got to NZ a few weeks ago, and am traveling until mid-March, when I start work in Nelson. I'm interested in exploring as much of the South Island as possible before work starts, and am particularly into trekking and rock climbing - or really anything outdoors. And also I want to make friends! I don't know many people here, but everyone I've met so far has been super.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Have heard it's a fantastic way to travel, explore a city with the people who live there and learn a little about someone else's world

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Just started reading Anthony Bourdain and man, he's one darkly funny dude.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

A few years ago I lived in a monastery near Lyon, France and worked on the dairy farm that they ran. Feeding week-old calves (their tongues! like cat tongues but 18 times bigger) and eating cheese produced on site were highlights.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I'm good at talking, we can do that. Also going for long walks on the beach.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I like to cook, especially bake. I can talk to you a lot about wine if that interests you - if not then mums the word.
