Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Due to past living arrangements, it's been awhile since I have been able to host... but now Julia and I have our own place with a cushy futon for our guests to sleep on. (Pictures Coming)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I Have hosted in New Zealand and surfed my way through the U.S.A, a tiny bit of Mexico, South East Asia and Australia. Such a great way to meet people and embrace local culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Death Valley is Pretty Cool...
Also hired a car, drove through the Deserts of California, Nevada, Arizona and shot a music video. IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY!!! probly more crazy than amazing...also got strandard in the middle of rural Vietnam after our bus broke down was in transit for over 24 hours at the time not so amazing but when I look back on it, I am like "yep that was an amazing experience"
I could definitely list a few more amazing stories but maybe I will save those, if you end up staying with us :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

Apart from offering a cushy futon, we can give local tips and advice on our Mother Land. and hopefully you would do the same if we are ever in your neck of the woods.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A cushy futon to sleep on for a couple of nights

Good conversation and GREAT advice.

ALSO I know of a lot of hidden gems in Auckland city that you wouldn't find out about staying in a hostel...or reading travel guides. THIS IS WHY COUCH SURFING IS GREAT!!!
