Hello!

Friendly traveller from New Zealand with a typical down to earth kiwi personality. Grew up in a rural town at the top of the South Island in New Zealand. I now work there as a conservation park ranger doing biodiversity monitoring and I’m also a bike guide

Living at the top of the South Island of New Zealand has given me a great love for the outdoors so this is where I choose to spend majority of my spare time. I love mountain biking, hiking, walking, running, kayaking, football and road biking.

I have a passion for the environment, the earth and all the animals on it which is why I choose to eat a plant based diet.

I do not smoke

My insta is ellierosina if you want to learn more about me and my hobbies

I have done a lot of house sitting. For references please see my house sitting site. https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/house-and-pet-sitters/united-kingdom/england/london/l/423591/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love hosting when friends and friends of friends come to NZ and enjoy staying with people who really know the area when I’m away!
