Hey there! I’m a 21 year old Zoologist/Marine Biologist from New Zealand on a gap year before pursuing further study (and hopefully doing an internship in Canada during 2020!!). I have a huge passion for animals and the environment and am always happy to talk about all things nature. I grew up in a house with a total of 86 exchange students during my childhood/teenage years (usually about 5 living with us at all times) so I’m very keen on meeting new people and experiencing different cultures (you can imagine the amazing foods I got to try during our weekly Sunday night potluck dinners based on each of our countries!!!). I think this unique growing up experience is where my passion for travelling arose from and I plan to travel to all corners of the earth to meet up with all my exchange brothers and sisters again over my lifetime 😄

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

The idea of getting to know people and be able to bond with them makes couch surfing seem like an ideal experience, especially if I am able to share my home with them if they ever want to visit New Zealand. I feel like human connections are so valuable and it would be awesome being able to meet and talk with people from all kinds of places. I feel as though couch surfing is a more personal approach compared with airbnbs.

Intereses

As mentioned, anything animal and environment related is something I am extremely interested in. I also really like art, especially painting. Travelling is something that has always held my attention and it would be awesome to talk to people with a similar feeling. I’m currently travelling around Canada and America with my best friend who was just on exchange at McGill and it’s been unreal so far ❤️

Algo increíble que he hecho

Probably making it through my degree in one piece (but in all seriousness, achieving my life long dream of being a zoologist/marine biologist graduate was the most incredible feeling) 🐟🦁

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I’m happy to share some miscellaneous animal facts with you 🐯 I’m also learning French and a couple other languages so if you speak any it would be cool to learn from you and communicate. I can also share some easy recipes and baking tips! As well as information on travelling in New Zealand if you’re ever keen ❤️

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I love cooking and baking a variety of foods, I’m vegan but I’m happy to cook whatever you’re interested in! 🍔 I’m happy to talk about a variety of things such as world views, interests, ideas, the future etc as I’m always interested in other peoples lives and the way they view the world themselves. I’m sure I could also convince you on why you should visit my country (New Zealand) because trust me it’s beautiful.
