Hi my name is Kiri! I am a frequent world traveler who has visited 50 countries. I am an International Relations student and an English Language teacher. I'm passionate about making the world a better place, and there's nothing I like better than experiencing a new culture through a local perspective.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Although I have had an account for a long time, I am new to couch surfing. All my friends love it, and I'm looking to give it a try. I'm an easygoing guest and I love having the opportunity to meet new people when I travel!
Music, Movies, and Books
Music wise I am a very big Frank Sinatra fan, but I have a very extensive music collection. My favorite offbeat genre is electric swing (take a listen if you haven't heard of it!) Books wise I read anything and everything I can get my hands on Movies wise I'm definitely a 007 kind of girl. But in general action/ adventure is my thing
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Trained as an elephant handler in Thailand, founded a women's group in Malawi, taught English in the Galapagos, oops was I supposed to pick just one?
What I Can Share With Hosts

My Interests
My passions include music, wine, cooking (all cuisines!), reading, exploring and adventuring, kayaking, clubbing, event planning, tea, teaching, and working with students. Any visit to a new city usually includes a visit to some of the best museums and bars!
