"I met Simon in Napier, when he joined the hostel where we lived for 5 months. He's for sure a part of this big family, always participating in all the activities and party nights we had there. This guy is famous here for his wonderful bacon sandwiches, watching him cook is sometimes more entertaining than Game of Thrones, especially in the late hours of the night. With Simon, you'll enjoy the German experience (only the good sides of it) as it's finest. Watching movies ? Cooking ? Playing chess ? Going out ? He will be down for everything. So don't wait, and leave him a couch !"
- Honest review by a french friend of Simon

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I prefer travelling on my own plus getting more in touch with locals, learning more about the culture and their lifes, than being around other backpackers all the time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I usually hear everything I like from all different kind of genres while I have a strong penchant for 30s, 40s music like swing and the bigband.
My favourite movies of all time is the Lord of the Rings trilogywhich is actually the sole reason for choosing New Zealand as my first backpacking adventure. I also like Tarantino, Nolan and Fincher.
I am not reading that my, I prefer gathering my knowledge from Internet surfing and Youtube.
