About Me

CURRENT MISSION

see the south island!

ABOUT ME

I'm the sort who can easily survive in a small bubble of friends, but whenever there is a need, or i am by myself i end up making the most amazing friends.

returned to nz at the end of 2009 from a few years living in the uk via a 4 month road trip that included driving, taxi's, motorbikes, and amazing people. I certainly have the travel bug!

PHILOSOPHY

if you give someone a huge amount of trust, it's harder to break.
people are nice to nice people.
dont ask a question if you cant handle the answer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

haven't been able to host at my current house, but had great experiences with fine travelers before. looking to get back into it once i talk the flatties around

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I havnt couch surfed via couchsurfing before, but have taken advantage of a few kind peoples couches in my travels. - had maybe 10 people pass through our couches last year, all positive, some weird.

Interests

anything fun, i go with the flow but am really keen to do more outdoors stuff this year. have been drinking far too much and having far too much fun (like thats possible)
love fixing things and any sort of practical skill, from electronics to building to sewing.

  • drinking
  • electronics
  • traveling
  • outdoor activities

Music, Movies, and Books

uhm. i dont read much, but read a bit about how people think - things like 'blink' and 'F**k it, the ultimate spiritual way'
music changes from day to day. but if its not death metal or hardout rap i will enjoy it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

planned to drive from the UK to Australia. made it a third of the way before the car blew up. found my own way for the next 8000km!
