I am an easy going guy working in rural New Zealand (you will need a car to get here!). Last year I was travelling Europe for 12months but have now returned to live and work on the farm! Previously worked in a bank office but needed to get out into the fresh air.

While in Europe I met and stayed with some awesome people and so would like to offer up my couch (double bed in fact) to those travelling my part of New Zealand as a way of giving back and also to meet some more awesome people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people from different cultures and experience the way they live. To see the world by avoiding tourist traps and living a bit more like locals!

Interests

All sport and outdoor activity - - snowboarding, rugby, cricket, basketball, touch, tennis, hiking and the ocean would be the top of all - -
I love meeting up with people for a beer and other sporting events. I also enjoy learning to play the guitar and German when I get the chance!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Old School or any Will Ferrell movie for that matter, or a good thriller. Favourite film would be Tell No One (ne le dis à personne). I needed subtitles!

Music: Huge range of music.. have been listening to a lot of alternative music lately.. namely Tame Impala, Alt-J, Bob Moses

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in the Swiss Alps (Lenzerheide) for the winter season... just epic riding

What I Can Share with Hosts

Show them all the local spots that are missed off the tourist map... Taranaki as a whole is generally left off the map, But I can show you around the farm if you would like!
