CURRENT MISSION

To give our kids a barefoot childhood in New Zealand

ABOUT ME

I like to think I'm a fun girl, although we're hurtling towards middle age. Don't think it's not going to happen to you! Our two girls keep us tired but happy. We're semi-veg, non smoking and enjoy cheap New Zealand wine and Monteiths beer. We like to listen to world music, create a futon empire for lounging about on, eat eat eat and watch Star Trekkie-type science fiction shows!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm am a 'fresh-air fanatic' and hate anything ruining the quality of the air I breath through my weak ailing lungs. That's one of the reasons we are drawn to Wellington - it has the cleanest air of any city in the world!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done this with my network of friends and am enjoying expanding this network to the many 'friends I haven't met yet'.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Having a baby and travelling the world are two of the most mind-expanding things I've done. University was good for that too. Highlights have been a trekking trip in the Himalayas and a recent Native American Sweat Lodge facsimile at a pagan festival. It was like wow wipeout (thanks to the B-52s for that).

教，学，和分享

Erm...talk to me about all things house sitting. I'm trying to create the world's most useful resource for everything house sitting worldwide.
