My name is Jacob Van Ginkel, I am a 23year old backpacking and wwoofing through NZ! I study Permaculture and I am going to golden bay for my permaculture design course. I love nature, hiking, exploring, playing with poi, and meeting new faces. Excited to meet you and share the experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing to save some money while I'm in NZ. Also I find that couchsurfing allows individuals to really spread culture and learn the culture of others.

Interests

I like poi, permaculture, and all sorts of adventure. I can always enjoy a good meal and a conversation, especially when it's with friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love fat Freddy's drop, rising Appalachia, lots of 60s 70s music, and most types of jazz. As far as books go, I prefer to read informative books that can promote our lifestyles, and the occasional novel :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing is done was building a permaculture style garden for my mom back home.
