I have been doing well as a jewellery designer in England but have had the chance to acquire a year long work visa for New Zealand so jumped at the chance. I love traveling sooooo much , makes me feel alive . I especially like the more outdoor life and beautiful scenery so New Zealand is the perfect choice. I am very interested in couch surfing while there as I feel it will be a great way to get to know your culture better. Also I will be about 10 years older than most other backpackers so what I'm looking for out of my trip will ( i imagine) be different from them. If you would like to take a look at my jewellery my website is www.ilonawhite.com I also have a jewellery facebook page you can check out https://www.facebook.com/ilona.white.14

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
I'm on couchsurfing as I traveled in Australia a couple of years ago with my Ex and he used the site. we stayed with a lovely man and It was nice to just be in a proper home when you are so far away from your own . So it's a couple of reasons really. To submerge myself more fully with locals and to feel comforted by having someone let you into their home and make you welcome . It reminds you that there are good interesting people in the world .
Musique, films et livres
I love all things Stephen King and Terry Pratchett
Une chose incroyable que j'ai faite
I've found, after many years of being lost, my passion in life. Which is designing and making things . Jewellery for now but who knows. I can't recommend enough following a dream/passion no matter what age you are . it's so worth it in the end, and you only remember living once so do your best to make it happy . I was 28 when i decided to go back to Uni and i haven't looked back since
Ce que je peux offrir à mes hôtes
I can share my love for art and my thoughts on the world .I could tell you about making jewellery and if i have any wax and tools on me I could show you how to carve something to be cast in metal. I'm a pretty fun confident person who should hopefully have you laughing . I have a very positive outlook on life and this can be contagious. I would also share my cooking obviously , Its only polite :) Im not so sure how great i am at it though !
Mes centres d'intérêt
I obviously love making jewellery . while traveling this year I will be designing a new men's range. I also love upcycling furniture and may try and do this out there to make a bit of money . I like to paint and sketch, explore, walk, read, cycle, I'm newly obsessed with the International Space Station . I love animals and would like to hopefully work with them while I'm out in New Zealand. Im interested in eco/off grid living, conspiracy theories , mayan history, different cultures, art history , design of ALL kinds .... anything really . I find most things interest me
