Why I'm on Couchsurfing
It feels good to share our home and local area with visitors.
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies - Festival films like 'Portrait of a Lady on Fire'; 2000's 'Being John Malkovich'; 'Her'; 'Blue Valentine' Music - Lots. Check out my spotify, username "caro wheelbarrow" Books - I read a good book when I moved to Dunedin and felt like I was time-traveling. It's called 'All Our Wrong Todays' by Elan Mastai. Ed enjoyed 'Catch -22' by Joseph Heller and we just watched the TV series, which was funny and haunting.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I've swum across Lake Taupō - 4.2km
Teach, Learn, Share
I love languages - I want to learn more about all languages. We can speak English with you, and sing Maori waiata. I can teach you to make pavlova, best-ever bagels, vegan cake...

My Interests
We like going out to eat and drink, see live music, hang out with friends, joking and talking. I like dancing and making dance playlists. We like staying in and watching good shows or movies. Ed likes hanging different paintings and looking at them. I like thinking about all the fun things I'd like to do more, like surfing and ocean-swimming, and things I'd like to make or design. I'd like to be more of a doer than a thinker, but life has certain constraints.
