ABOUT ME

Hola! My name is Sam. My wife Anna and I are doctors from New Zealand. We've been saving for a few years and now we're ready to start our big travels.

A bit about me: I like to chat and meet up with new friends, go for drinks out, or just sit and read a book at a street side café. I'm always ready and willing for a new adventure. Especially in the great outdoors. We could meet up to debate philosophy or literature, or to catch a movie, visit a museum or explore an abandoned building or spooky forest. Carpe diem (Latin for 'seize the day') will pretty much provide all the motivation I need for trying something new.

I also enjoy a spot of rugby, tennis, squash, volleyball, trampolining, snowboarding or wake boarding. Plus boardgames, boardgames are cool.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem.

"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
-Robert Frost

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE

I host when I have space and surf when traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During Med school my wife and I lived in Nepal for 3 months working at a Kathmandu public hospital. It was an amazing experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to juggle balls or clubs, do backflips and other tricks.
We could cook a good meal or share a new recipe.
I am super excited to learn or teach more Spanish :)
