Kia Ora, what’s good?

First thing you need to know about me is I’m a big, big, idiot! I’m not dumb and I don’t tend to get myself into too much trouble, but I’m a bit of a goof, I love to laugh and don’t take myself to seriously. My couch surfing experiences to date have been incredible! I love getting the inside scoop from locals and in turn make some really great friends.

A little bit about me.. I love filmmaking, I have just finished filming a satirical doco on the Yugoslavian Space Program and have another in the works. Check out @samtimandhim on instagram if you wish to find out more. I have a real passion for music, sport, film, surfing and photography - quite a few passions I know. I like to keep myself busy, but equally enjoy the opportunity to kick the feet up and relax.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel you have a better connection with a place if there were also memorable people. So be yourself, keen to get to know you!
