About Me

Ive no idea how to change my location lol. Currently in Napier, New Zealand.

Current goal is travel, eat and adventure throughout the world especially climbing mountains so when I'm old and wrinkly I can look back happily knowing I had a kickarse time.

ABOUT ME

Into all martial arts, love sports (Ultimate Frizbee, tricking, hockey, badmington etc) and hiking.
Love jaming music- play guitar.
Keen on experiencing new cultures, meeting new people and making some wicked memories.
Yeah that pretty much sums it up.

PHILOSOPHY

Things are not difficult because we dont dare, its because we dont dare that things are difficult.
If you always do what you did, you'll always get what you got.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Only surfed once, had the best time ever with the Malaysia crew and A.J.
Meet some cool cats already and had a good time.
Now it's time to pay it forward and host/hangout etc when and where I can.
Cant host at the moment as flat isn't large enough and landlord lives on site.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meet some cool cats in Japan, via couch surfers, and some amazing people in Malaysia!
Made some life long friends I feel.
In regards to meeting people and finding events its sweet as.
