One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking 600km through a flood in newzealand on a mission to get some spraypaint to paint a mural at a hostel i was staying at, ended up being the best hitching experience ive ever had, along the way i helped build a woodfire pizza oven, went to a fondue party, cleaned out and repaired and an old farmhouse that had been trashed, hydroplaned across a flooding bridge in a highlux,(that was a little scary). one of the warmest things i saw along the way was a farmer picking up his stranded sheep in a speedboat. i returned back to the hostel well fed dry on heated seats and was gifted a awesome all inclusive weekend for me and my partner at the time to go to milford sound the next time i was near queenstown. hahaha. i think i will hitch forever. same as anything in life, if you put yourself out there...................... : )

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to teach cooking skills or any of the knowledge i posess on recycling etc. am really trying to commit o advancing my yoga abilities so if anyone can help me learn asanas etc.. i would be super grateful.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Endless conversation or golden silence. Happy to cook and clean, do some gardening or help out in any way i can. or if you want any murals painted more than happy to gift some artwork.
