Hey! I'm Dani or Danielle (whatever you like). I was brought up in New Zealand most of my life but I was born in England, looking forward to getting back to my roots. I'm traveling around at the moment and hoping to get settled in Paris so that I can learn to speak French.

I love traveling, meeting new people and having adventures. I am always open to trying new things and love learning about different people's cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested in meeting new people seeing as I am a solo traveler. I want to immerse myself in the culture so would be keen to learn from the locals. When I have my own apartment I would love to offer people my home for couch surfing.

Interests

I love to write! I'm currently writing a novel and hope to include my travel stories. I also write a lot of poetry and activism pieces. I am also very interested in art and music. I know a lot about art history and love drawing and painting. I have my own vinyl collection back in New Zealand which I sadly had to leave behind :c
