New Zealander visiting Portland and Mexico. I came to the US for the eclipse. (It was amazing!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Obviously it's a cheaper way to travel, but the real draw is meeting new people in a new city. People from a place are going to know what's best about it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Sci-fi
Recently been reading some Octavia Butler - she's amazing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to Antarctica for my master's. It was only 2 weeks, but it was the strangest environment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach software carpentry to postgraduates and academics - I could teach you a little python or Unix shell :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook vegan food and maybe teach a little coding if people are keen. I also enjoy off the cuff science and engineering rambles.
