I live and work in Wellington since 2012 and consider it my second home. I am a civil engineer, work with dams and in my spare time I love travelling, reading, movies, meeting up with friends and organizing all sorts of trips. Love cooking and trying new meals while travelling, also I am quite fascinated about languages and all the different lifestyles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend recommended it to me! I must confess I am already a bit of a couchsurfer, as host andI have stayed at many friends of friend's places. I thin couchsurfing is a brilliant idea! I remember when I went to Singapore for a day (yeap only had 15 hrs there) a guy I literally met for 2 days hosted me after 2 years of not seeing each other. I had an AMAZING day there and he opened the doors of his house and his mum and gf where so lovely!

I would like to host later on when I get more spare time, I am having way too many visits this year to host, sorry!
