CURRENT MISSION

To build a home made with love and filled with joy.

ABOUT ME

My life is blessed and filled with amazing people. Paul and I are married with a little girl who rules the roost... I am a sociology major at uni and currently studying towards becoming a qualified early childhood educator... I believe in the power of one, empathy and love...Paul and I plan to dedicate our lives (when we grow up ;p) to aiding our people - education, health and youth work mainly.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that laughter needs to be practiced as often as possible and cuddles fix everything. Gratitude and Kindness can empower anyone and fill the world with the love it so desperately needs. All of this takes practice and hard work.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have been out of the couch surfing community for a while due to our living arrangement and having a baby, but some of my most favourite life experiences have been connected with couch surfing. We have hosted people in our little apartment, and been graciously hosted on our travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have hosted at our home and have surfed in Malaysia and Vietnam, and Argentina. Our hosts were amazing and they are firmly in our hearts. We have not only learnt about them but also about ourselves and the joy of sharing our cultures with each other has brought many laughs.

兴趣

Beaches, bushwalking, birdwatching, being barefoot in the sunshine, beautifully illustrated childrens books that have heart. Love to have a boogie and Paul loves his food - ALOT!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Fallen in love ... and survived a consequence of that ... giving birth.

教，学，和分享

My husband and I are from different cultural backgrounds (Samoa/NZ Maori) and we love to play 'how do you say this? What is your favourite food?' but what I love the most is hearing stories and learning songs and dances. (not that I can sing or dance but its fun). Stories (such as myths) give insights into traditional values and beliefs, I love hearing them. I even know a few myself.
Paul is enthusiastic about sharing his love for his home island of Samoa and gets a kick out of similarities between different languages and his. Culture and customs are important to us and we enjoy learning how others view the world through their own cultural identity.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

We live in a tiny house on the beautiful island of Waiheke, on my parent's property. We are a close knit family and love sharing a laugh over a cup of tea.
