Hello. I’m Dawn and i grew up in North London UK. Whilst backpacking around i stumbled upon New Zealand and have now lived there for around thirty years. My original plan was to spend three months! I enjoy life (mostly) and am a ‘glass half full’ type of woman! I take people at face value and try not to be judgmental. I try to find humour in all life situations. I enjoy connecting with people from all walks of life. My work as a tour guide in NZ allows me to have a few months off at this time of year to explore some new (and old) places and meet more weird and wonderful people. I love the sound of Couch Surfing and have read some great things about the network so here i am :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To meet people from all cultures and spend time with the genuine local people who will hopefully educate/inform me of their beautiful part of our planet. Local knowledge is best!

兴趣

I enjoy spending quality time with family, friends, and work colleagues I love the water, especially the ocean ( would love gills behind my ears! ) Natural health, good food, craft beer and fine wine. I will walk for miles and love being in nature with all its colours, scents and diversity. I enjoy both companionship and my own company.
