My Story:
Kia ora and Hello, my name is Wiremu (William) but most of my friends and whanau (family) call me Wiri, i am from Maori descent which is the native people here in New Zealand.
I was brought up in the Urban 'concrete jungle' of Auckland City.
I have been traveling around the world for about 6 years And sometimes return back to New Zealand frequently. I love to travel and experience other countries, their land, food and learn and heighten my awareness at the same time meet other like-hearted people on my travels who share similar visions and outlooks.
When I am back in New Zealand for long periods of time I am happy to host people and learn from them as much as i can like learning how to speak their language for a start.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you about my culture, country, history and what makes us Maori/Kiwis tick, i can also give you a tour of our organic farm while tasting the lovely fruit and pure spring water and maybe just maybe make you an organic apple crumble pie but that's not all.
I can show you all the cool places and attractions in and around Auckland and the North Island of New Zealand and if need be the South Island to as i have traveled to every part of New Zealand. I'll show you how to save your money, where the best accommodation is and the best routes to take so you have a awesome time.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my culture, language, history, music, insights, traditional food recipes and cooking from New Zealand. Share ideas and visions towards global self sustainability. Share my time to learn their culture and ways of living. I can help with some chores around the house from mowing the lawn to fixing the computer.
