I am Clare and I come as a package deal with a bearded man named Jeremy. We come from "Nu Zilind" and in 2017 we are going to escape the South Pacific for 6 months (or longer if we can) to see the world :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because who wouldn't want to be a part of a community of people from all over the world who, in the age of Air BnB, are willing to open their homes and welcome their fellow travellers for the price of a story and a shared meal!

If i can help someone stay an extra night in my city by avoiding the cost of a hotel then I would love to and live in hope that the favour will be returned :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Not sure they can fit in this box. Standouts include: The National, A Song of Ice and Fire, Almost Famous...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen the sun rise from the top of Mt Kinabalu in Borneo, Hot air ballooned over the desert in Australia, Watched Icebergs floating in the surf in Jokulsarlon Iceland.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have lived in Auckland my entire life so can share all my insider knowledge with travellers, I also tell bad jokes, offer my personal chef's (the aforementioned Jeremy) services and always keen to practice my school girl french or learn curse words in other languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Bad jokes (tell them and laugh at them)...good food...a drink or three
