About Me

I'm currently an undergraduate student at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch studying a BSc in Linguistics. Two things about me - I love languages and I like to travel!

I'm really sociable and I love meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy travelling and I love meeting up with people. I'd love to meet up with people in Christchurch and take them around the City.

Interests

  • traveling
  • geography
  • history
  • languages
  • science

Music, Movies, and Books

I would say I'm quite open to lots of different styles of music - somewhat eclectic. I enjoy reading and watching movies such as Fight Club, Gone Girl etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had an opportunity to go to Germany to represent New Zealand at the International Geography Olympiad back in 2012 and had a great opportunity to see and learn about Germany from the local perspective especially about the Great Wars and the state of Germany following the collapse of East and West Germany.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm great with languages and can share with you the quirks of the New Zealand Accent from scientific and historical point of view. I can pretty much yarn about anything and everything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with them about the Canterbury Earthquakes from a locals perspective and the science behind it because I have a background in Geography. I can also share with you my experience in how this disaster has shaped the history of the City and my own personal journey as a young lad coming from the lower North Island.

Countries I’ve Visited

Germany, Hong Kong, Macao, Malaysia, Netherlands, Singapore

Countries I’ve Lived In

New Zealand
