Hey, I’m Ella! A 31-year-old Kiwi who swapped the corporate grind for a life of adventure. Since leaving NZ last January, I’ve been exploring Asia and Europe, collecting stories,
experiences, and unforgettable moments along the way.

Right now, I’m in the Netherlands on a working holiday visa, mostly pet sitting—which has its perks but can get a little lonely at times! I’d love to meet fellow travelers, share stories, and make the most of everything this beautiful country has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with locals and travels

Interests

I’m all about exploring whether it’s hiking through nature or wandering new cities, learning about culture and trying new foods. I also try to keep things simple and live a low impact, minimalist lifestyle!
