A Kiwi guy having an adventure in the world... Looking for experiences and awesome places and awesome people. My first time out of New Zealand! I'm told I'm likable! I'm travelling alone at the moment, so that makes my pace a little more chilled, no rushing off to meet itineraries!
I like reading, dancing, being happy! I'm shy for the first ten minutes then BOOM!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to get to know people and have a more local feel for a place. Making friends with hosts and other travelers would be awesome. Sharing the world and who we are is so important to growing who we are. I want to grow and help grow some more and I think couch surfing can help facilitate that!

Interests

I like looking at cool buildings and awesome views. I like to tramp(hike) and see some of the countryside. Getting to know a place and wandering round a city! I'm up for a great night out too, of course!
Talking. Could be about an orange, could be about your Ming vase from poundland.
Really like to read, if I have down time, Ill be reading. If I am on the loo, Ill be reading. If I am driving, Ill be reading!
When I'm not reading I am chatty as, used to be a debater(I am nerd!) so a real conversation tends to spin my wheels.
I like cars, driving is really relaxing for me.
Badminton, squash and tennis. I am ok at all three and love playing.
Trampoline and power tumbling.... ahh I miss that alot. I coach it now though so its alright
Coaching, people having fun = WIN! = me having fun!
Anything else, Ill have a go!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Left New Zealand! Hasn't stopped amazing me since!
Ireland is awesome and the Giants Causeway is cool. I'll have to update this as more things happen in travels!

Teach, Learn, Share

Not sure I have a lot to teach, but I have heaps of enthusiasm and energy to give!
Fill my head up with everything you know and we will see what sticks!!
