CURRENT MISSION

On my way to do the harvest season in Nelson as cellar hand, I want todiscover New Zealand before the rush of harvest !

ABOUT ME

Thomas, 24-years old, studying winemaking !
Curious, enjoying life and people, easy going.

I'm on my way for a new experience, which is spending 4 months in New Zealand, mostly to work in a winery during the harvest, but also to discover New Zealand with my backpack !

I'm used to travel and I visited a lot of countries. That's also the second time I'm travelling alone during a long time, the first time was 4 month in South Africa last year.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is made of experiences : meeting people, doing new things, be surprised every day, learn from others.... and then... integrate this in your own life in the way that suits you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently looking for couches as I don't have my own place but I hope I could host some people as soon as possible !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's my second time couch surfing but I'm used to do car-sharing, hitch-hiking, backpacking, meeting people when travelling.

I'm very open-minded and respectful.

Interests

Every thing that can make my life enjoyable !

I enjoy
music (electronic but not only),
photography (I do street photography),
art (Dali is my favorite !),
movies (I know my classics),
wine (it's my job man !),

When it comes to sports I love hiking, climbing, snowboarding, BMX riding

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most memorable thing I have done yet is to go to AFRICA BURN, the south african version of BURNING MAN.

If you know Burning Man, you can imagine what I'm talking about...

Simply life changing.

(I also did the world biggest bungy jump in south africa !)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach, learn, share. This is what I'm looking for by doing couch surfing.

Life is only about experiencing : meeting new people and new ideas is the best way to be exposed to new experiences.

I can teach you how to taste and make wine,
I can talk to you about France or other countries I visited,
I can teach you how to make nice photography,
I can listen to you and what you have to tell and learn to me,
...
and maybe we will learn a bit more about ourselves !

Countries I’ve Visited

Brazil, Egypt, France, Indonesia, Mexico, Portugal, South Africa, Spain

Countries I’ve Lived In

France, South Africa
