Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm still pretty fresh off the boat so will participate in as much as I'm able to. Open to making new friends and simply giving something a go.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have been hosted once while I was in Beijing and I am truly grateful for the opportunity. I met some amazing people. I have just started hosting now that I'm back home in NZ. Now living in Auckland but originally from Waikato so still new to the happenings of the area.

NOT ACCEPTING GUESTS at the moment as it does not fit in with my flatmates... Sorry couch surfers... however am willing to hang out or meet up.

Interests

Music lover, book lover, film lover

The arts speak to my soul so it's a definite winner.
Love love love...

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy most music, rnb, soul, pop, rock, reggae, dub step, house, acoustic but enjoy easy listening the most.

I'm a movie fanatic so enjoy many movies. Foreign films, true stories, musicals, anime, comedy, action, drama & thrillers. Some of my favs are 'Remember the titans', 'The sound of music' 'The power of one' 'Romeo & Juliet' and the list goes on.

I enjoy non-fiction books like biographies, educational or self development but I also like reading fantasy stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

'Unlearning what I've learnt.'

Culture is something that runs deeper than water. So stripping away an aspect of this can be hard. It is embedded in you but you find it doesn't serve your current position in life. It's actually holding you back.

Here's to releasing the old to make room for the new!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - English, Maori, guitar, singing(for fun)

Learn - Culture, Chinese, stories/history

Share - Food, company, stories, songs & dance

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share...
Energy
Light
Love!
......
Can I say that? Ok so how about a love for life! And energy through giving. And light by having fun. Or simply good company!

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, China, Hong Kong, Macao

Countries I’ve Lived In

China, New Zealand
