Hey there, I'm Feilidh (pronounced Faylee).

I currently live in Wellington. I'm outgoing, relaxed and philosophical. I love meeting new people to share good experiences with.

I strive to foster good relationships, experience as much as possible, help those less fortunate than myself and constantly learn and grow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you wish to stay with me, please read my couch info. I only have room for ONE guest at a time.

I have been using CS since 2008 and have regularly hosted, surfed and been to numerous meet ups around the globe.

I'm always happy to meet new people for drinks or a meal and show travelers around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted more than 30 CouchSurfers in NZ as well as about 6 in Hamburg. and met up with many more. I've now surfed in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, Japan and Taiwan.

Nearly all my experiences have been positive and I've made some close friends.

I do believe in reciprocity so anyone who hosts me is welcome to stay wherever I happen to be living in the future.

Interests

I like to read, write, train BJJ, have interesting conversations - also: Youtube, big time. I'm passionate about politics and current affairs and a big appreciator of film and great TV.

I am also a huge fight fan. Primarily MMA but also BJJ.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* I volunteered to work with the endangered Leatherback sea turtles in Costa Rica for a student exchange programme.

* Had an amazing tour of the Australian Outback where I slept under the stars on a swag and walked around Uluru.

Teach, Learn, Share

This reminds me of one of my favourite books of all time - Happiness TM by Will Ferguson. It's a scathing, hilarious satire on the Self-Help industry.
