I am 31 and have finished a two year working holiday in Australia. I spent the majority of my time in Melbourne, living with an old school friend and working in hospitality. It has been an amazing experience to move to a city on the other side of the world (coming from a county town in the southwest of the UK) and its ignited a travel spark in me. So much so, my visa ended and I decided on starting a working holiday in New Zealand. I'm super excited about what I'll do, where I'll visit and who I'll meet in the next two years.
Currently based in Auckland.

I have always been very active, playing a variety of sports until an ankle injury in 2014. I still try and do some running and play netball. I love watching live sport and also getting to the beach.

My first stop in New Zealand will be Auckland and all being well, I will secure a job and work there for a while, while I plan my next move.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and to enrich my (fairly new) travelling experiences.

I'd like to talk to people who have travelled but more importantly, meet some locals for some insider info on where to go, what to see and general networking in what I will call home for the next two years.
