Im a friendly independent and easy going person, love nothing more then being in the great outdoors, hiking, climbing and photographing the wildlife and scenery. In general though I just enjoy meeting new people making some good conversation and experiencing new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i signed up a while back for couch surfing and never used it since i'll be spending a few months backpacking I thought it could be a authentic way of meeting and learning from locals, as well as be a great way to make new friends and to get hints tips and tricks of the area.

Teach, Learn, Share

It would be great to learn about the area, experience some of the local culture.

I enjoy learning new skills no matter the subject.

Most importantly I'd like to share stories, culture and experiences and perhaps one day if you're traveling through NZ I could help you out.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would like to help out anyone that hosts me by either doing some cleaning, or yard work etc.. for them, I have a philosophy of helping each other out.

I think most importantly I can share some decent conversation, share some culture, learn about yours and just overall have a easy going time.

I can share wildlife photography tips and tricks.
