About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Me & the world, together at last!

ABOUT ME

I have worked very hard in PR all through my 20s & early 30s so I figure its almost time to do something completely random and start traveling the world again. This all sounds very 'Eat Pray Love' but hey, I liked that movie. Super keen to spend some time traveling around China as a first port of call. I have been living in New Zealand most of my life so I have grown up with many Chinese influences and figure its time to experience this fascinating country first hand.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life, breathe deeply, love, work and play hard. Try not to repeat your mistakes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a beginner surfer only at the moment but hopefully this will change in the future :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None as yet but looking forward to my first CS experience

Interests

I love people! I believe life should be a shared experience so I have no difficulty relating to people from all walks. I love sharing good healthy food, I don't mind walking or biking long distances, I am interested in new experiences and can take risks without being irresponsible or stupid! I love nature and history. I love learning new things about myself and the world around me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books set in other countries! Music - anything fast and loose and made with computers. Movies that make me think for days afterwards.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling Berlin - experiencing the energy of the city and learning the history and lessons from a group of young German humanitarians.

Traveled Thailand on a mega tight budget - no air-con, no resorts, no worries!

Teach, Learn, Share

Listening - I am a good listener. You can tell me about your life & I wont judge! I will only give you positivity and compassion in return for sharing your true self :)
